The annual conference of the International Council of Christians and Jews (ICCJ) took place this year in two beautiful Hungarian cities, Budapest and Kecskemét, between June 24 and 27. The topic of the conference was „Towards Reconciliation in a Broken World: Jewish and Christian Contributions to Responsible Citizenship“. It was evident from the main lectures given by Professor Judith Frishman (Leiden) and Cardinal Péter Erdő (Ostrihom, Budapest), from most plenary sessions and from some conference workshops that the multi-dimensional violation of our daily reality and the memory of past injustices and suffering which people feel, especially in the historical memory and context of Eastern Europe, requires reflection and healing/reconciliation. Overall, the invitation addressed to the people involved in the inter-religious dialogue, and especially the Jewish-Christian dialogue to engage as active members of their communities and societies, and seeking reconciliation, was a clear focus of the whole conference. The lectures and discussions concerned these topics. They also showed a convincingly clear link between these topics and, in a few cases, illustrated how to engage in an authentic dialogue on a given topic.
