Guidelines Adopted for Joint
Jewish-Christian Worship

NEW YORK - An un-
precedented effort to de-
velop guidelines' for joint
Jewish-Christian worship
was launched emphasizing
the principle that combined
religious services did not
imply Jews and Christians
heed the same religious be-
lief.
The guidelines were pro-
posed by the Office on
Christian-Jewish Relations
of the National Council of
Churches of Christ and the
Department of Interreli-
gious Affairs of the Union of
American Hebrew Congre- •
gations.
They were discussed by
nearly 100 Protestant cler-
gymen and Reform rabbis at
an all-day symposium that
began with a model joint
religious service at St. Pe-
ter's Lutheran Church in
New York and ended with a
discussion at the neighbor-

ing Central Synagogue.
Among the highlights of
the proposed ground rules
for joint worship were these:
• "Prayers should be ad-
dressed to God alone, not to
any other being or deity,
and should not be in the
name of Jesus or ofthe Trin-
ity . . . Use of the Lord's
Prayer is inadvisable, not
because of the text itself but
because of its strong histori-
cal identification with the
Church alone."
• Use of Jewish and
Christian Scripture is fully
in accord with the intent of
the service. The aim should
be to select the universal.
The principle to be observed
is to emphasize that which
unites and not to point up
that which divides. The
non-polemical use of Jesus'
name and teactngs in
readings from Christian
Scripture or in homilies is in
accord with this principle."
