Council of Christians & Jews
Marches Branch

You are invited to our next meetings, which are as follows:

Monday 10th September
'The Success of the CCJ and its Future'.
Speaker: David Gifford Chief Executive Officer CCJ
David will talk about the fact that our success in the past was due to the pioneering spirit and courage of the branches. In an ever dangerous and fragile world that same spirit of pioneering in interfaith relations is needed as much now as ever.


Monday 8th October
Jewish and Christian Music
Speaker: David Ventura
David will be exploring the differences between Jewish and Christian music and why and how they sound different.


Monday 12th November
The Ethics of War in Judaism
Speaker: Rabbi Dr. Norman Solomon
Dr Solomon will survey Jewish sources relating to the justification and conduct of war, from the Bible and rabbinic interpretation to recent times, including special problems of the State of Israel. He will show that there is strong convergence between contemporary Jewish teaching, modern human rights doctrine and international law. Dr. Solomon served as an Orthodox rabbi in Britain and, since 1983 has been engaged in interfaith relations and in academic work, most recently at the University of Oxford. He has written several books, including, 'A Very Short Introduction to Judaism', published by OUP.

All are welcome. Cost: £1 members, £2 non-members.
Meetings begin at 7.30 p.m. and are held at: 'The Parish Room',
