46 These formal experiences of dialogue have occurred through a long association with the National Conference for Community and Justice (formerly the National Conference of Christians and Jews) in their (now defunct) Theology in a Pluralistic Setting program, and most recently with the Elijah Interfaith Institute Think Tank, whose current project explores the possibility of sharing wisdom among religious traditions on the topic of love and forgiveness.
