Thoughts at the Millennium

Aired 1999-00. A panel looks at the Christian millennium and what this marking/celebration might mean for Jews, Muslims, and others. A Jubilee Year gives us a chance to look back and offer reconciliation. We see this as a Common Era in terms of the calendar; for Christians we look backwards and forwards through the eyes of faith. Panelists include: Ms. Peggy Shriver, former staff executive for Research, Planning and Development at the National Council of Churches; The Very Rev. James Parks Morton, Dean Emeritus of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine (Episcopal); Rabbi James Rudin, director of the Interreligious Affairs Dept. of the American Jewish Committee; The Rev. Thomas Reese, SJ, editor-in-chief of "America" (Roman Catholic); Dr. Diana Hayes, prof. of Systematic Theology at Georgetown University (Roman Catholic); Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, spiritual leader of Al-Farah Mosque in NYC. A panel looks at the Christian millennium and what this marking/celebration might mean for Jews, Muslims, and others.
