Inaugural Paul Wattson Lecture at Fordham University
The Faith of Others: The Inspiration of Interreligious Dialogue in Light of Nostra Aetate
The Paul Wattson Lectures honor the memory of Servant of God Father Paul of Graymoor (1863–1940), founder of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement and pioneer for the cause of Christian unity. These annual lectures, hosted at distinguished universities in the US and internationally, feature national and international leaders in the fields of ecumenism and interreligious dialogue to speak on urgent contemporary questions. The 2025 Paul Wattson Lecture, the first to be offered at Fordham, also honors and builds upon the legacy of the “Nostra Aetate Dialogues” organized at Fordham since the early 1990s to address compelling, and sometimes controversial, topics at the core of Jewish-Catholic dialogue.
Monday, October 20, 2025
6:00-7:30 PM, with reception to follow
In October 2025 we commemorate the 60th anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions, which attended to the history of Catholic misrepresentation and mistreatment of Jews and provided a baseline for Catholic interreligious engagement in the contemporary world. Our interfaith era of these past sixty years is indeed a remarkable moment in history, given the two thousand years of tensions, often violent and horrific, between Christians and Jews. What has brought us to the present moment and what is our path going forward? Since the end of World War II, historians and theologians, Jewish and Christian, have focused enormous attention on the history of Christian views of Judaism, sometimes called Christian anti-Judaism. We have examined the links between theological criticisms of Judaism and modern antisemitism and questioned the responsibility of Christian teachings for the Holocaust. In her lecture, Professor Susannah Heschel (Dartmouth College) will propose new ways to conceptualize the relationship between the two religions that will move us toward more positive, productive relations. Having grown up in a home in which ecumenical discussions were vital, Prof. Heschel will recount personal memories of her father, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, and of the many Christian theologians and clergy who came to their home. Taking up the theological as well as the historical trajectory that led to Nostra Aetate, she will give particular attention to the relationship between Rabbi Heschel and Augustin Cardinal Bea, charting the new theological directions they represented regarding divine inspiration and prophecy.
Responding to Prof. Heschel will be Heather Miller Rubens, Executive Director of the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (Baltimore), who will look from this history into the present and future—reflecting on the powers and limits of Nostra Aetate in our own time, as well as on its significance beyond the Catholic-Jewish relationship (not least in terms of contemporary Islam).

Join us for our monthly Catholic Entrepreneurship Talks where entrepreneurs share how their faith inspired them to start their own business and helped them overcome challenges.
On Tuesday October 21st at 18:45, we’re excited to host James T. Fishback, Founder & CEO of Azoria, an independent investment firm as well as Founder of Incubate Debate, a debate league.
His work has earned recognition across the spectrum from people such as Cathie Wood of ARK Invest.
James is a rare voice, having launched Azoria not only as an independent investment firm, most recently through its 500 Meritocracy Fund, but also as a direct response to his own experience of being ridiculed on at a previous hedge fund on Wall Street for praying before meals.
“We do daily mass for our staff. Some of our staff who aren’t even catholic join us. Not only that but by donating 5% of my personal profits from the fund to support new Pro-life pregnancy centers shows how we put our faith first at Azoria”
James will share:
How faith grounds his work in both finance and culture
How to start your own investment firm
How to stand against the status quo amidst what the financial world dictate
How to help others live their faith more fully in business and investing
👥 Who Should Attend:
Catholic founders and business owners looking to scale with integrity.
Investors seeking to support faith-aligned, mission-driven startups.
Entrepreneurs in search of mentorship, funding, or values-driven partnerships.

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that allow you to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share your point of view in a safe and friendly environment.
Sessions include:
Is there more to life than this?
Who is Jesus? Why did he die?
How can we have faith?
Why and how do I read the bible?
What about the church?
How does it work?
Each session includes food, a short video and a discussion at the end where you can share your thoughts. At any point, if you think Alpha isn’t for you, that’s not a problem. There’s no pressure and no charge.
The course runs for 12 weeks. And there is a wonderful 24 hour offsite retreat that involves a hike, a Mass, delicious dinners, and the visit of the Holy Spirit! Come to the first one and see if it’s for you.
This is a great place to invite a friend who may be curious about your Catholic faith. The Alpha course has proven to be an effective tool for awakening faith in people who are on the fringe of parish life, faithful Catholics and those outside the faith.

This month, the Graduate School of Education and Haciendo Caminos is inviting the Fordham community to gather, and remember.
Haciendo Caminos: A Retreat for All Saints and All Souls will take place on Saturday, October 25, from 2 to 5 p.m. The program begins with a presentation in McShane 260, followed by a 3:30 p.m. Mass celebrated by Francis X. McAloon, S.J. (M.Div., STL, Ph.D.), with Pan de Muertos and hot chocolate served afterward.
Rooted in Latino Catholic traditions, the retreat provides space to pray, reflect, and sit with memory. Through story, music, and silence, participants will contemplate the feasts of All Saints and All Souls, and the people whose lives continue to influence their own.
The retreat will be led by Natalia Imperatori-Lee, Ph.D., a Fordham graduate and associate professor of theology. Her work focuses on feminist and Latinx theologies and the ways women claim credibility, both inside and outside the Church. She’s written for Commonweal, America, and The Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion, and is the author of Cuéntame and Women and the Church.
The event also highlights Fordham’s partnership with Haciendo Caminos, a national initiative to support Latino Catholics who are exploring lives of service, ministry, and education. Fordham is among 18 institutions nationwide helping to develop the next generation of leaders.
All are welcome. To attend, please RSVP to Luz Marina Díaz, Ph.D. at aludiaz@fordham.edu.
