Ten years ago, Lutherans and Catholics signed a document resolving a dispute that was at the heart of the Reformation. The issue was the nature of justification -- generally, the importance of faith and good works to one's salvation.
On Monday, the regional Catholic diocese is hosting a dialogue in Harrisburg about these issues. You can hear presenters including Monsignor John A. Radano, who recently served as staff member to the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, and the Rev. Dr. Cheryl M. Peterson, assistant professor of systematic theology at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio.
"This is the 10th anniversary of the signing of the document on August 30, 1999, on Reformation Sunday," said Deacon Charles Clark of the Diocese of Harrisburg. "It marked a very significant turn for the better in Catholic-Lutheran relations."
Registration is $20 and includes lunch. For details, call Clark at 657-4804.
