Learning about perspectives different from our own is an indispensable part of building bridges of friendship; as Fratelli Tutti reminds us, "The effort to seek God with a sincere heart...helps us recognize one another as traveling companions, truly brothers and sisters." In light of this, we at the USCCA are glad to share these occasions for dialogue between the Church and Eastern spiritual traditions:
In a report on Sr. Xiaoping Guo's USCCA Conference presentation, conference rapporteur Shirley Wang describes how Tibetan Catholic women have led their communities in a devotion to Christ coupled with interfaith outreach.
In Questions have more than one answer, Board Director Emeritus Tom McGuire invites us to consider how Christian and Daoist traditions understand a particular paradox that accompanies "the need to win."
Additional opportunities for dialogue are sure to follow in the USCCA Book Circles, where you can meet friends over Zoom to discuss history, Chinese culture, theology, philosophy, and the life of the Church in China. The Book Circle will resume on September 21, 2024; please sign up for Book Circle email updates if you are interested.
The 29th USCCA International Conference provided rich soil for interfaith dialogue. Will you help us to share its fruits with a donation?
We would like to produce a documentary of the 29th International Conference, a publication of the conference proceedings, and recorded interviews with speakers and panelists. Our goal is to raise $20,000 toward this effort, and to recognize donors for their support. Thank you for considering this opportunity to foster dialogue between the United States and China.
