Cultural Center Donates Sculpture of Moses to Rome's Gregorian University

A sculpture, Moses before the Burning Bush by [ARS co-founder] artist Scott Sullivan, has been presented to the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome by the Museums at the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center.

The piece was part of the fall 2002 Cultural Center exhibit Visions of One Another, which featured original sculptures on biblical theme and figures from the Old Testament by Catholic and Jewish sculptors.

The participating artists were invited to travel the exhibit to the Pontifical Gregorian University in October 2004 to coincide with a symposium to mark the 40th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's document Nostra Aetate (Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions), that was proclaimed by His Holiness, Pope Paul VI, on October 28, 1965.
