An intensive twelve-week program implementing recent Vatican pronouncements striving for more meaningful Catholic-Jewish relations has been announced by the Office of the Superintendent of Schools in the Archdiocese of St. Louis and the Missouri Regional Office of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. The program, consisting of two series of seminars on “The Image of the Jews” was developed with the encouragement of Archbishop Joseph Cardinal Carberry, who, through last December, served as Chairman of the Commission on Ecumenism of the United States Catholic Conference. The seminars are scheduled to begin Feb. 10 and continue through May 6. The primary resource for the teacher-training program consists of twelve films produced by the Anti-Defamation League in cooperation with the Archdiocese of New York. The first seminars will be devoted to “The Jews and Their Religion.” The second series of seminars concerns “The Image of the Jew in Literature.”
