Evangelical Conference
Urges Conversion

Amsterdam (JTA) — An
international conference of
Evangelical Christians has
concluded a week-long
meeting in the Netherlands
with a statement calling for
the Christian church as a
whole to "affirm the urgency
of Jewish evangelism and to
take the whole Gospel to
Jewish people everywhere."
The group, which met Aug.
5 to 9 in the Dutch city of
Utrecht, urged Jews to rec-
ognize "Yeshua of
Nazareth" during the cur-
rent period of messianic
revival, and said, in a clos-
ing statement, "We lament
the widespread reluctance to
share the Gospel with Jew-
ish people."
The group, the Lausanne
Consultation on Jewish
Evangelism, also issued a
statement decrying anti-
Semitism.
The Lausanne Consulta-
tion is composed of Hebrew
Christian churches, in-
cluding Jews for Jesus,
Christian Evangelical chur-
ches that have assigned
themselves a special mission
to convert Jews, and Jews
who have converted to
Christianity.
About 150 members from
five continents attended the
conference, according to
Susan Perlman, a member of
the group's international co-
ordinating committee and
information officer for Jews
for Jesus, which is based in
San Francisco.
It grew out of an organiza-
tion that includes more
mainstream Evangelical
organizations, called the
Lausanne Committee for
World Evangelization, form-
ed in 1980.
The Lausanne Consulta-
tion- on Jewish Evangelism
meets every three years
internationally, and re-
gionally once a year, accor-
ding to Ms. Perlman.
The danger of the group
"is not in the conference,
which is basically the same
people getting together time
after time, but in the
globalization of these Heb-
rew Christian groups," ex-
plained Rabbi A. James
Rudin, national director of
interreligious affairs for the
American Jewish Com-
mittee in New York.
Some of those who par-
ticipated in the meeting here
were from Eastern Europe,
where they often operate
anonymously. At least one
organization, called Chris-
tian Care East West, offers

to help Eastern European
Jews who want to leave for
the West.
Signs of these groups'
future progress missionizing
Jews is "somewhat
ominous," especially in
Eastern Europe, with "its
long and bitter history of an-
ti-Semitism," Rabbi Rudin
said.
The Lausanne Consulta-
tion's opposition to anti-
Semitism is nothing more
than sophistry, said Rabbi
Rudin, because they view
anti- Semitism as not shar-
ing the Gospels with Jews.
"While their mouthings
about anti-Semitism sound
good, it is really a cover for
their true intention, which is
the spiritual extinction of
Judaism," Rabbi Rudin said.
Rabbi Leon Klenicki, di-
rector of interfaith affairs for
the Anti-Defamation League
in New York, said that in
light of recent progress in
Jewish-Christian dialogue,
the group's attitude toward
Jews "goes back to the Mid-
dle Ages."
JTA staff writer Debra
Nussbaum Cohen in New
York contributed to this
report.

Politics Slow
Israel Housing

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli
Housing Minister Ariel Sha-
ron's ambitious construction
plans were challenged last
week on both the political
and economic fronts.
At the Knesset Finance
Committee, Committee
Chairman Moshe Feldman
of Agudat Yisrael prevented
the allocation of some $375
million to the Houing Min-
istry by simply staying out
of the country.
And the outgoing governor
of the Bank of Israel, Pro-
fessor Michael Bruno,
demanded at a farewell <
press conference that the
Housing Ministry stop
"excessive construction and
waste of money."
Trouble at the Knesset Fi-
nance Committee began
when the Treasury asked
the committee to approve
additional funds for work on
housing infrastructure and
for the purchase of mobile
homes for new immigrants
and young couples.
The Housing Ministry in-
sists that the delay in allot-
ting plots to the haredi
community was due to a ban
by Attorney General Yosef
Harish.
