More than 20 religious scholars and spiritual practitioners gathered for the 27th Annual Vaishnava-Christian Dialogue on April 6th-7th in Potomac, Maryland, to explore the theme “Loving Your Enemy.”
Attendees include priests, pastors, professors, and university students from both the Protestant and Catholic traditions, as well as leaders, scholars, and students from the Vaishnava tradition. Catholic monastics sat in their robes next to dhoti-clad Vaishnavas, young scholars interspersed with retired professors, and newer members of the dialogue added their viewpoints to enhance the perspectives of long-standing dialogue partners. Some observers noted that the variety of participants was a reflection of the array of flowering trees that decorate the grounds of the (newly constructed) ISKCON of DC Temple.
The event was hosted this year by the ISKCON of Washington, D.C. Temple, which also catered three elaborate meals. Previous dialogues were held at various local retreat centers, as well as the Washington Benedictine Abbey (Catholic).
