Editor's note
The Editors

From July 16th to 20th, 1967, a symposium took place at Strasbourg (cf. No. 13 this issue) assembling representatives of centres in the field of Judeo-Christian relations coming from several countries. The symposium was organised by Monsignor A. C„Ramselaar with the collaboration of Professor W. P. Eckert, 0.P. (Cologne), and Professor C. A. Rijk (Holland, now residing in Rome).

Among other topics, the participants discussed the character to be developed in future symposia and the Documentary Service. For this they elected a new steering committee. The following are the names of this committee.

Professor L. Dequeker - Mechelen, Belgium
Professor E. Flannery - South Orange, New Jersey, U.S.A.,
Professor W. Eckert, 0.P., - Cologne, Germany

Monsignor Ramselaar, with increasing demands on his time, has resigned from the committee. It is largely thanks to his initiative and encouragement that SIDIC came into being and for this we want to express here our deep gratitude to him. We know that we can always count on his support and continued interest. Professor Rijk, now officially in charge of developments in Rome concerning relations between the Catholic Church and Judaism, is working in close collaboration with the editorial committee of SIDIC.

Because of the increase in the amount of information, the Editorial Board thought it better and more practical to limit the number of issues to three per year (February, May, October) instead of four, so the topic of each issue can be more fully elaborated. It is understood that the subscription rate remains unchanged since the three issues amply reach the initially proposed objectives.

The topics for Volume II, 1968, have been chosen as follows:

II-1 The Bible: Translations and Commentaries
II-2 The Relations between the Jewish People and the Land of their Fathers
II-3 Dialogue and its problems.

We shall be grateful for whatever relevant information our readers are able to contribute on these subjects and take this opportunity to thank those who have already done so.

Some correspondents from abroad have pointed out that their research for SIDIC has helped them in their own work, paving the way for future projects and contacts. Such results are encouraging. For the Bulletin to ,be,:oe', the greatest service to Jewish-Christian relations, we welcome all _,cokstrUOtive ideas and remarks.
