Jewish believers reject  evangelism ban call

The gospel of Jesus Christ is not for Jews, a trustee of a Christian-Jewish council has claimed – suggesting that to think otherwise is anti-Semitic.

In an opinion piece in The Times newspaper calling for the end of Christian missions to convert Jews, Zaki Cooper (photo right), a trustee of the Council of Christians and Jews, cited historical Jewish massacres and anti-Semitism in England going back to the 1100s.

He was writing ahead of a service commemorating the 800th anniversary of the Synod of Oxford, an event in 1220 which saw various anti-Semitic measures imposed on the Jewish community, including tithes and badge-wearing.
