Professor Prepares for Interfaith Meeting With Pope
http://www.necn.com/news/new-england/Professor-Prepares-for-Interfaith-Meeting-With-Pope-327978971.htmlAs an associate professor of theology at Providence College, with an expertise in Christian-Muslim relations and as a former consultant to the Vatican, it's not unusual for Dr. Sandra Keating to correspond with leaders of the Catholic Church. But she never expected to hear from the Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
"When I got the letter, I opened it up and thought, 'Oh my goodness,'" she said.
The letter was an invitation for Keating to meet Pope Francis when he comes to New York next week.
Keating has been invited, with a few dozen religious scholars, to participate in a small interfaith meeting with the pope inside the 9/11 museum. She says she expects the pope will get a tour and pray at Ground Zero.
