St. Bartholomew's Church Editorial

The horrific events of September 11, 2001, shocked New Yorkers and plunged them into anxiety about the future. At the same time, city residents from the various faith communities came together to mourn and to find solace in each other's presence. Houses of worship were filled to capacity in the days following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Now more than ever, New Yorkers from all walks of life are eager to explore new avenues of interreligious discourse and shared spiritual experiences. The Center for Religious Inquiry (CRI) has offered an education program for intellectually and spiritually curious members of the greater New York City community since 1999. Under the direction of Rabbi Leonard A. Schoolman and William McD. Tully, rector of St. Bartholomew?s Church, the Center offers major public lectures, concerts and adult-education courses taught by leading theologians and professors. From its inception, CRI has offered courses such as "Understanding Islam," "Basic Buddhism," and a variety of survey and topical courses on everything from Christianity and Judaism, to Sikhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. CRI also presents free lectures on pressing topics such as the religious roots of international conflict with speakers including Sen. George Mitchell and Ambassador Dennis Ross. Some of American's leading teachers of religion have lectured at CRI, including Harvey Cox, Diana Eck, and Peter Gomes (Harvard); Martin Marty (University of Chicago), and Avery Cardinal Dulles (Fordham). CRI also sponsors the Summer Institute of Sacred Languages, offering introductory courses in courses in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic.
