Reconciliation and Hope: A Reflection on the Occasion of Pope John Paul II's Historic Pilgrimage to Israel By the Members of the Ongoing Consultation Between the National Council of Synagogues (NCS) and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB), March 13, 2000
"Meeting on March 13 in Baltimore, the members of the Ongoing Consultation between the National Council of Synagogues and the Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs of the NCCB send warm greetings to Pope John Paul II on the occasion of his historic pilgrimage to Israel. He follows the Jewish tradition as the Catholic tradition. He will visit sites that will evoke great emotion among Jews and Christians because they underscore both what binds Judaism and Christianity as well as what separates us."
