Technorati“The Berlin Declaration on the Uniqueness of Christ and Jewish Evangelism in Europe Today,” released on Aug. 29, 2008, reminded Christians that they are “called to share this good news, with sensitivity and humility.”
“We believe that genuine love cannot be passive,” concluded the document, which the task force said was distributed for study and consideration and not considered an official document of the WEA.
“Christians everywhere must not look away when Jewish people have the same deep need for forgiveness of sin and true shalom, as do people of all nations,” they added. “Love in action compels all Christians to share the gospel with people everywhere, including the Jewish people of Europe.”
In a response, however, ADL leaders said the evangelical document was “not an offer of love, but a prescription for hate.”
“Though the World Evangelical Alliance claims it seeks to convert Jews out of their ‘love’ for Jews, we believe that if the WEA really loved Jews, they would respect Jewish teachings and recognize the integrity of Jewish tradition,” expressed ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman and ADL Director of Interfaith Policy Rabbi Eric J. Greenberg in a statement.
Since 1913, the Anti-Defamation League has been working to stop the defamation of the Jewish people.
