Abstract

Gordon Tucker GORDON TUCKER is a professor at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, where he also serves as Dean of the Rabbinical School. Author of a number of significant studies on Jewish law, ethics, and philosophy, Dr. Tucker includes among these studies "The Confidentiality Rule: A Philosophical Perspective with Reference to Jewish Law and Ethics," published in Fordham Urban Law Journal (1984/5). THE MAKING OF "ETHICS IN JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES" Situated on diagonally adjacent street corners on the Upper West Side of Manhattan are Jewish Theological Seminary, the academic center of Conservative Judaism, and Union Theological Seminary, the largest ecumenical Protestant seminary in the United States. For many years, these two institutions (henceforth: JTS and UTS), both of which train students for the clergy and grant advanced graduate degrees in religious studies, have cooperated on a number of levels. This cooperation has been particularly close and constructive since the current president of UTS, Dr. Donald W. Shriver, arrived in New York in the mid-1970's.
