Reverend Musial, a member

in Cincinnati. Following his
ordination in 1967, he return-
ed to Argentina to serve as
rabbi of Latin America's only
Reform synagogue, Congrega-
tion Emanuel, and as director
of the Latin American Office
of the World Union of Pro-
gressive Judaism. His in-

terest in interreligious affairs
led to the deliverance of a
paper representing the
Jewish community at the first
Latin American meeting of
Jews and Catholics in Bogota,

Beth El. The program is open
