Through the pra xis of interfaith dialogue some headway has already been made on this path to peace\, understanding and collaboration.\nWithin Roman Catholicism\, t he Second Vatican Council\, convened by Pope John XXIII\, heightened the c onsciousness of the Church with regard to other religions. His successor\, Pope Paul VI\, had as his first encyclical the 1964 document Ecclesiam Su am (subtitled 'paths of the church') where dialogue was promoted as the ne w way of being Church. Hence\, the theme of the present conference\, begin ning with 'paths to dialogue'\, commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of t he proclamation of this landmark document. The topic of dialogue was given further attention in the 1965 document Nostra Aetate ('in our age') which counseled the Church to be in 'dialogue and collaboration with the follow ers of other religions'.\nWhile celebrating the bold spirit of dialogue ex pressed in these two documents\, we are conscious that much has changed in the world in the last half century\, even within the sphere of inter-reli gious relations. With this in view\, the Centre for Inter-religious Dialog ue at Australian Catholic University (ACU-CID) is hosting an International Theological Conference to explore the advances and setbacks of the last f ive decades and to investigate new paths that can contribute to the wellbe ing of humanity and the entire cosmos in our age.\nPlenary Speakers:\n\nPr of Michael Barnes SJ Professor of Theology at Heythrop College\, London.\n Ven.
