Binding them together and speeding the rise of a total Jewish community was the ever present fear of anti-Jewish prejudice and the “peculiar” problem, a real one, of steering a course between the Christian Whites and the Christian Blacks.

Christians and Jews Building Bridges tells how Christian-Jewish relations have improved dramatically since the Council of Christians and Jews was founded in 1942.

Marcus Braybrooke is a retired Anglican parish priest, interfaith activist and author of Meeting Jews. He studied in Jerusalem and was a Director of CCJ. He is President of the World Congress of Faiths and Co-Founder of the Three Faiths Forum.
