Protocols for Interfaith Dialogue

RCA reaffirms the need for continued adherence to Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik’s guidelines regarding interfaith dialogue.

May 18, 2006 — Whereas lately there have been suggestions that the guidelines set down by the Rav, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, in dealing with non Jewish denominations prohibiting topics of theology may no longer apply;

Therefore be it noted that these guidelines remain the operative principles of the RCA’s position in this area, and shall continue to remain the cornerstone of all dialogue between us and non-Jewish denominations.
