Jewish and Catholic leaders gathered at Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney.

For the 18th time over many years, the Australian Catholic Bishops Commission for Ecumenism and Inter religious Relations and Australian Jewish leaders met for talks on Wednesday 25 November 2015.

The talks took place while the Australian Catholic Bishops gathered for their plenary meeting at Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney from 23 – 27 November 2015.

Archbishop Christopher Prowse, Chairman of the Bishops Commission for Ecumenism and Inter religious Relations, said, ‘There is a great fraternity amongst us. We share our faith on various levels and there is respect and friendship between the Jewish and Catholic leaders.

‘We discussed the area of religious intolerance in our world today and in particular in Australia,’ Archbishop Prowse added.
