John Borelli, The Historical Significance of Nostra ætate and its Reception
An expanded version of the author’s Opening Statement at the September 15, 2025, conference “Nostra ætate at 60: Legacy and Challenges for Reconciliation and Interreligious Understanding” sponsored by Georgetown University. The proceedings of the conference can be viewed on the website of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs.

Luc Ruedin, À propos du vide contemplatif
L’article explore le vide contemplatif comme expérience de lâcher-prise permettant d’accéder au fond silencieux de l’être, au-delà de l’ego, où la pleine présence et la conscience se rejoignent dans un dynamisme d’unité. Il compare ensuite les voies orientales, centrées sur la dissolution du sujet dans la vacuité, et la perspective occidentale, où le vide devient passage vers la Relation, la fécondité du Désir et l’Amour trinitaire.

Justin Robinson, Toumliline Travels: A Trip to Morocco’s Forgotten Monastery
In an article for The Irish Catholic, a member of the DIMMID board of directors, recounts how, in the 1950s, a monastery in Morocco founded by the Abbey of En Calcat in France, became an unexpected place of dialogue and encounter.
