Page "Jewish views on religious pluralism" Paragraph 26

Soloveitchik understood his ruling as advising against purely theological interfaith dialogue, but as allowing theological dialogue as part of a greater context.

Bernard Rosensweig ( former President of the RCA ) writes " The RCA remained loyal to the guidelines which the Rav had set down interfaith dialogue and distinguished between theological discussions and ethical-secular concerns, which have universal validity.

Every program involving either Catholic or Protestant churches in which we participated was carefully scrutinized .... Every topic which had possible theological nuances or implications was vetoed, and only when the Rav pronounced it to be satisfactory did we proceed to the dialogue.
