Sydney, Australia (JTA) —
New Zealand Jews are
dismayed at the failure of
the Anglican Synod to
restore the words "Zion" and
"Israel" to psalms included
in the prayerbook of the
country's largest church de-
nomination.
The synod declined at its
recent annual meeting to re-
verse the deletions made
four years ago. The ruling
was termed "a major step
backward in Jewish-
Christian relations" by the
president of the New Zeala-
nd Jewish Council.
Wendy Ross of the council
said the synod vote repre-
sented "actual hostility"
toward the Jews. The deci-
sion was made despite the
almost unanimous opposi-
tion by Maori churchgoers,
although their community
had been identified as the
intended beneficiaries of the
changes.
The Anglican Church of
New Zealand adopted the
revised text in 1988 in an at-
tempt to "modernize" Chris-
tianity. The word "Zion"
was deleted in 33 places and
the word "Israel" in 21.
The changes were made at
the suggestion of the Rev.
Brian Carrell.
The Jews lobbied over the
past four years for restora-
tion of the full text.
Churchgoers urging resto-
ration of the deleted words
included the Anglican
Bishop of Auckland, the Rt.
Reverend Bruce Gilberd,
who told the synod it had a
duty to put right "the seri-
ous offense" an d_
"unnecessary hurt" to the-
Jewish community.
