The Holy See has announced the appointment of Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham as a consultor to the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, part of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity.
The decision was published in the Vatican’s bulletin of resignations and appointments on 30 September. The Commission was established in 1974 in the wake of the Second Vatican Council to oversee Catholic dialogue with Judaism. It is charged with ensuring that theological and pastoral work is carried out in the spirit of Nostra aetate, the Council’s declaration on relations with non-Christian religions.
