The Council of Christians and Jews
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Council of Christians and Jews, or CCJ, is a voluntary organisation in the United Kingdom. It is composed of Christians and Jews working together to counter anti-semitism and other forms of intolerance in Britain.
The CCJ was founded, in 1942, by Chief Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz and Archbishop William Temple during a time of all-out warfare and Nazi persecution of Jews. In late 1954, the Vatican demanded that English Catholics resign from the CCJ due to its perceived indifferentism.
