Maritain Sees Basis for Fellowship Among Religions

There are “foundations of fellowship and understanding between believers of different religious families and a basis for a constructive cooperation between them for the good of civilization,” Dr. Jacques Maritain, Professor of Philosophy at the Institut Catholique in Paris, declared tonight in a public lecture at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Of the basis of good fellowship among men of different creeds, Professor Maritain said, “the conviction each one has, rightly or wrongly, of the limitations, deficiencies, or mistakes of others does not prevent friendship between minds.”
