I had nothing in common with the Jews until I became involved in this dialogue. Now I have everything in common with them” – priest Wojciech Lemański, at the time parson of Jasienica parish, member of the Polish Council of Christians and Jews once stated. The meeting organized on May 13, 2013 by Forum for Dialogue and Państwomiast café club concerned the dialogue between Christians and Jews. What exactly are the gains in the religious life of a Christian who engages in dialogue with the Jews?

Is this dialogue simply declarations and Vatican-issued documents or is there more to it? Why should it be of relevance to Christians?
Parish priest Wojciech Lemański from Jasienica (a small town just outside of Warsaw) shared with the audience his personal thoughts on Christian-Jewish dialogue, what a Christian can gain from it and what is its religious meaning on interpersonal rather than merely institutional level. A lively discussion on the topic continued well after the official end of the meeting.
