Les "Journées Romaines" ont commencé en 1956, peu de temps avant Vatican II, à l'initiative du fr. Georges Anawati, OP, et de quelques Pères Blancs, soucieux de promouvoir au sein de l'Eglise catholique une meilleure connaissance de l'Islam et de l'importance du dialogue inter-religieux. Ces rencontres ont eu lieu tous les deux à Rome jusqu'à au milieu des années 1990.
Jean Jacques Pérennès preached at morning mass and spoke of three qualities of St. Augustine that are important for us as preachers as well. Chrys McVey, of happy memory, also embodied these qualities.
(Chrys McVey OP died in June, and had an important motivating force behind JRD and interreligious dialogue in the Order for many years. At the beginning of Saturday morning, we remembered him with this poem)
