Letter: A broad church of Jews and Christians
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The Independent recently (24 March) carried an advertisement for 'Jews for Jesus', an organisation that targets Jews as potential converts to Christian faith.
The Council of Christians and Jews believes that this policy is both misconceived and harmful; damaging to both the Christian faith and Judaism. In the light of our tragic history, the first priority for Christian churches today in relation to Judaism is to establish a new, more constructive relationship, avoiding the errors of the past. This entails respecting the integrity of Judaism as a living religion.
In the experience of many of us, both Jews and Christians, this is an approach which can deepen our apprehension of the one true God.
Yours sincerely,
RICHARD OXON (The Bishop of Oxford)
