ICCJ - Sydney Blog July 8 - 12, 2007

Welcome to my report on the International Council of Christians and Jews meeting in Sydney, Australia July 8 - 12, 2007. The theme of this annual conference is Healing a Broken Earth: The Faiths Working Together. Of course, the title automatically brings to mind the Jewish expression Tikkun Olam, which is a call to repair the world, a good directive for Christians, as well as for Jews.

I arrive in Sydney on Saturday, July 7 and the program begins on Sunday afternoon. As it goes along, assuming that I have regular access to the internet, I will attempt to report regularly on the nature of our meetings and workshops, as well as share some of my observations and insights gained from my participation. I also hope to include some photos of activities and locales in Sydney. So, stay tuned!
