Lecture by Professor Catherine Corneille
Newton College Alumnae Chair of Western Culture Chair of the Theology Department at Boston College
The French Benedictine monk Henri Le Saux (1910-1973) is without a doubt one of the great pioneers of the Hindu-Christian spiritual dialogue. Not only did he delve deep into uncharted spiritual territories, but he also inspired many who followed in his footsteps, from the spiritual master Bede Griffiths, to the famous theologian Raimon Panikkar. In this talk, Professor Corneille will reflect on the ways in which Le Saux’s journal and other writings have inspired her personally, and continue to be relevant for interreligious dialogue in general and Hindu-Christian dialogue in particular.
