Copy of tweet: Ultimately, the catastrophe of a global religio-political control-complex with no operative interest in reconciliatory reformation, summons the advent of planetary prophetology's unifying articulation - the planetary-saving righteousness of an inclusive eschatology, revealed.
@SherPoint 4/ Yes, sitting in solitude with the Absolute is well and good. But for the rest of us, everyday experience lands differently, as do the concrete, particularized effects and requirements of immense social and cultural differences and loyalties resolutely at odds with one another.
![In 1964 Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel addressed a statement to the Second Vatican Council while it was taking place. Frustrated over the process of Nostra Aetate and concerned about the content in one of its drafts, Heschel declared that:
[a] message that regards the Jew as a candidate for conversion and proclaims that the destiny of Judaism is to disappear will be abhorred by Jews all over the world…As I have repeatedly stated to leading personalities of the Vatican, I am ready to go to Auschwitz any time, if faced with the alternative of conversion or death.
Heschel's remarks still prove challenging to Christian theologians of all denominations. The Jewish scholar Jacob Neusner puts the task into words:
How can I form a theory of the other in such a way that within my own belief I can respect the other and accord to the outsider legitimacy within the structure of my own faith?
Interreligious hospitality:
