Is Christianity a Jewish system of....?
Few weeks ago I attended
a luncheon of the Jewish United Found. I was
invited there by the Hillel Center. The main
speaker was Francis Cardinal George, OMI.
It was his last address to the Jewish Community of Chicago as an
Archbishop of Chicago. The words that I remember
from his talk are:
“You [the Jews] can understand
yourself without us [Christians]. But we [Christians] cannot understand ourselves
without you (the Jews).”
I mediate on these
words. They are not challenging to
me. They are encouraging me to go deeper
into Jewish theology and spirituality. Christianity is not just Greco-Roman
system of thinking, behaving and believing.
It is or it should be mostly Jewish way of thinking, behaving and
believing. Jesus, his family and his first followers were all Jewish. We should
never forget about it.
