This reflective statement is developed by the eleven of us who ma.ke up a delegation of attendees to the 5th National Wo·rkshop on Christian/Jewish Relations. We are a delegation from Los Angeles - the host city for the 4th National Workshop on Christian/Jewish Relations - made up of four Roman C~tholics, four Jews and three Protestants. As a group we have met at a luncheon-discussion session on April 30. The reflections are the result
•of this session and are presented to the National and Local Committees for - the ~National Workshop on Christian/Jewish Relations.
1. As a previous host community we acknowledge, commend and congratulate the Dallas community for providing all o: the physical necessities which this type of event requires. Very , specifically we appreciate the gracious and warm hospitality extended to us.
2. the the the and
We would particularly acknowledge quality of the speakers especially significant opening dialogue and addresses by The Rev. Edward Flannery Rabbi Balfour Brickner.
3. We would identify the following areas with whieh we had some concern:
~. Laek 01 participation by members of the Black and Hispanic communities and the issues which are of imnortance to those communities. -B. Lack of an Islamic presence in the "Islam: Is It Time -to Expand the Dialogue?" seminar. C. The four excellent presentations on Wednesday morning overwhelmed us with the "four in a row" program.

~- In future Workshops we propose the following as possible speakers and areas of discussion.
A. Plan seminars on topics presented in plenary sessions with those speakers present for in-depth Discussion. B. Have a maJor seminar on the Christian, Jewish and Islamic trialogue with a scholar from each religion. c. Have some specifically theological seminars, e.g. on Incarnational Theology, so that major theological premises of our religions may be discussed.
- - D:--Thet-opic -or Relrgious Liberty- foctfsing 011 Church-State issues. E. The role of women within our traditions is an issue which needs to be examined.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that local communities attempt to develop a delegation type of approach to attending and supporting future workshops. For ~s this ability to come as a delegation has been a beneficial experience and one which we hope will be continued in Los Angeles and perhaps practiced in other communities. The development of a tradition within communities to attend this event will in the face of cost and inflation factors guarantee not only substantial attendance but broad geographical involvement in future events.
We offer these reflections and recommendations in a spirit of positive support and intent.

He said the program bui Ids on the "successfu I formula" tested in the 1978 initial offering. He said it combines a high level content component with daily worbhop sessions on means of developing effective teaching procedures. He added thcit, using the university's total resources, the progrcsn wi II offer participants an unusual opportunity lo study the Holocaust and to evo luate existing materials and curricula in the field.

Hirt said that as more is leam.ed about the Holocaust and interest grows, "schools must be prepared to sustain and feed this curiosity with a so!lid knowledge of the specifics. Educators must be trained both in the facts and in reachil"G be)IOnd! them !Or greater meonil"G."
He asserted that educators must also develop "ttie skills to impart these difficult lessons in a dignified and meaningfu I way." He said the program has been designed lo encourage faculty -crossdiscussion and dialogue with participants.

.Joan Cohen, chairman of the JIRS steering committee, said "our service more than validafeCf its promise to operate a telephone line everf . . -weekday through which we can inform peap!e' of' the services available to them in the Jewish and general communities." ' ~·
She praised tne work of the JIRS staff of _ "highly qualified and pn:>fessionally trciined volunteers," announcing that a new training program for more volunteers hod been scheduled lo allow the JIRS to significantly expand the calls it can handle.
She rep:>rted that a wide variety of difficult problems doily confront JIRS volunteers. She said one volunteer recently received a ccill from an elderly woman scheduled k>r hospital Clischarge after a lengthy illness who said she was certain,: she would be unable to take care of herS.elf with-out a homemaker. ·: ·: _ •
