1970 - Albany: Directives for relations between Catholics and Jews
Diocese of Albany (New York)

Just as this issue is about to go to Press, another document has been received, published by the diocese of Albany (New York), under the title "Directives for Catholic–Jewish Relations". The seventeen pages consist of three main divisions: General Principles, General Directives, and Special Directives. Then follow three Appendices giving information about official organizations, publications, and copies of documents. Amongthese latter is the "working paper" used by the Plenary Session of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity in November 1969, and published in error in the United States. In his introduction, Mgr Edwin B. Broderick, Bishop of Albany states: "This working Document is to be accepted as a statement of the concepts and values to be fostered in this diocese".
