Anglicans Move To Mend
Relations With Jews
ROBERT ST. JOHN
Special to The Jewish News
London — England's
400,000 Jews had good
reason to be happy over the
stand that the past summer's
Lambeth Conference of An-
glican churches took on pro-
selytizing, but they are now
"bewildered" and "offended"
by a prayer currently being
used in a Church of England
conversion campaign.
'Ile understand the impor-
tance of the situation it is
necessary to know the unique
position the Church of Eng-
land occupies in this country.
It was Henry VIII's desire
to divorce his wife so he could
marry Anne Boleyn that led
to his break with the Pope
and the founding of what
came to be called "the
Established Church."
Today 27,500,000 English-
men belong to the Church of
England, as it is commonly
called; almost 60 percent of
the total population. It is the
official state church. The
monarch must be a member.
The two archbishops and 24
bishops all have seats in the
House of Lords, giving the
church its link with the Bri-
tish government.
It is also the mother church
of the Anglican Communion,
an international organization
of self-governing churches, in-
cluding the Episcopal church
of the United States, with its
3 million members.
The unity of the Anglican
Communion is symbolized by
the Lambeth Conference,
which is held every 10 years
in England and issues guide-
lines on policy to its men-
bers. Its decisions are there-
fore of worldwide significance
and of concern to world
Jewry.
At the Lambeth Conference
in July in Canterbury the
relationship between the
Anglican churches and world
Jewry was one of the hottest
subjects of polemics.
One of the most prestigious
of the delegates, the Bishop of
Oxford, the Rt. Rev. Richard
Harrie, stunned the assem-
blage by introducing a resolu-
tion that would terminate
completely all Christian ef-
forts to convert Jews.
In rebuttal, Evangelical
bishops argued that if passed,
the resolution would amount
to a virtual admission that
Christianity was no longer
what its followers had always
claimed for it, the unique and
only road to eternal salvation.
(In other words, that Jews
and other infidels have no
hope of going to Heaven.)
Finally, after much acrimo-
nious debate, a compromise
evolved: Bishop Harrie's draft
resolution was watered down
to condemn and reject only
"aggressive and manipulative
proselytizing," without defin-
ing exactly what those two
rather ambiguous adjectives
mean.
However, what was equally
important from a Jewish
point of view, the final resolu-
tion admitted that Christian-
ity had been responsible in
the past for encouraging anti-
Semitism. (An on-the-record
admission of guilt!)
All of that was to the good
and the English Jewry com-
munity expressed pleasure
and satisfaction.
But now comes the news
that the Church of England's
At the Lambeth
Conference in July
the relationship
between the
Anglican churches
and world Jewry
was one of the
hottest subjects of
polemics.
official body called "the
Church's Ministry Among
the Jews" has opened an ex-
hibition on the Bible in a
suburb of Manchester which
includes a prayer reading
"that our hearts may be
stirred with a true longing for
the salvation of all men, and
especially your people Israel. -
Leaders of British Jewry
immediately took offense.
saying they were bewildered
that the prayer should be
given such publicity so soon
after the Lambeth Conference
had approved moves to pro-
mote inter-faith relations be-
tween Christians and Jews.
They were especially dis-
turbed that the prayer should
have been publicized by the
Church's Ministry Amon..
the Jews, whose patron is the
Archbishop of Canterbury,
who is considered the spirit-
ual head of the Church of
England and has the title
"Primate of All England."
In a letter to the current
issue of The Church Times,
Canon Jim Richardson, exec-
utive director of the Council
of Christians and Jews, de-
scribed the prayer as "offen-
sive" and "insensitive."
Of sio-nificance is the fact
that the story of the Jewish
community beim:, "bewil-
dered" and "offended" was
given front page treatment by
two of London's mass circula-
tion newspapers. ❑
