UK Issues

N.B. This site is not what some people like to call "anti-missionary". Whether Jews who convert to Christianity (or indeed any other religion) are theological correct or not is not the issue. My intention in this section is to concentrate on Christian missions to the Jews as sources of antisemitism, anti-Jewish racism and misinformation about Judaism and Israel.

• UK Based "Church's Ministry Among the Jews" Misleads its Flock?
• Missionary deceit, Israel and the "Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism"

It is generally recognised that Britain's "Race Relations Act 1976" needs reform, if only to include discrimination on religious grounds. The following articles are intended to make a positive contribution to that ongoing debate.

• A Constructive Criticism of the "Race Relations Act 1976"
• You Too Can be a Victim of Racial Discrimination.
• A racially discriminatory advertisement in "Prophecy Today" magazine
• The Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain's Questionnaire

Jewish Ethnic Culture

In contrast to the racism of the "Messianic/Christian Jew" Jewish ethnic culture is non-racist. In principle, anyone can convert to Judaism and become a Jew irrespective of "race", ethnicity or gender. According to traditional Jewish religion and culture Jewish descent can be acquired by either birth to a Jewish mother or by conversion to Judaism.

Jewish ethnic (i.e. tribal) culture can be defined in terms of five commonalities.

1. A common religion - Judaism
2. Common ancestors - Abraham and Sarah
3. A common language - Hebrew
4. A common land base - Israel
5. Common customs revolving around foods and festivals
