The Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ) is the leading nationwide forum for Christian-Jewish engagement:
-
celebrating the history and diversity of both communities,
-
facilitating constructive dialogue,
-
enabling meaningful learning experiences; and providing opportunities for transformative change.
This engagement takes place in communities across UK through their branches as well as through their programmes.
There are three tranches to CCJ’s programmatic work: Education, Dialogue and Social Action.
When facilitating Christian-Jewish engagement, CCJ ensures that the following core values remain central:
-
Promoting understanding
-
Valuing difference
-
Demonstrating empathy and respect
-
Challenging prejudices
