This book tackles the core problem of how painful historical
memories between diverse religious communities continue to impact,
even poison, present day relations. Its operative notion is that of
healing of memory, a notion developed by John Paul II. The
different papers explore how the painful memories of yesteryear can
be healed in the framework of contemporary efforts. In so doing,
they seek to address some of the root causes that continue to
impact present day relations, but which rarely if ever get
addressed in other contexts. Strategies from six different faith
traditions are brought together in what is, in some ways, a
cross-religious brainstorming session that seeks to identify the
kinds of tools that would allow us to improve present day
relations. At the end of the conceptual pole of this project is the
notion of hope. If memory informs our past, hope sets the horizons
for our future. How does the healing of memory open new horizons
for the future? And what is the notion of hope in each of our
traditions, so that it might be receptive to opening up to a common
vision of good for all? Between memory and hope, the project seeks
to offer a vision of healing and hope that can serve as a resource
in contemporary interfaith relations.
