Having solved all the world's problems regarding the relationship between the Jewish and Christian traditions, we're bringing the season to a close.
We jest! We have, however, come to a good time to pause and reflect on what we've discussed so far, before we return with a follow-up season later on. We also are sharing a talk that Fr Geoffrey gave at a conference titled "The Orthodox Church and the Shoah" which encapsulates what we've done so far, and looks ahead to what the implications are.
Who are we? Are we the new Israel? Or are we the gentiles that have come alongside Israel to worship the One True God? The answer to this question will frame how we move forward in our reflections, relationships and dialogue in this re-membering.

This presentation on "The theological problem of the Shoah in Orthodox Christian tradition" was one of the introductory talks contextualizing the wider issues discussed during the conference.
