The unutterable violence of the Holocaust shook our confidence in the possibility of telling any story of faith at all.

The trouble is that after nine years as a Jack of all trades and Master of the Dominican Order, I have no expertise on anything except airports and exotic foods.

The medieval Church believed that the resurrection of Christ marked a new time for all of humanity.

This evening I wish to suggest that we Christians should accompany people on their pilgrimages. Specifically we should travel with people as they search for the good, the true and the beautiful.

Indeed if we Christians so tell our story that Judaism is silenced, then we have not spoken rightly of Christ.

I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims.

The history of Israel and Judaism is the unfolding of the meaning of this story. It's retelling is never finished and will not be until the Kingdom.
