The 'Council of Christians and Jews', or CCJ, is a
voluntary organisation in the
United Kingdom. It is comprised of Christians and Jews working together to counter
anti-semitism and other forms of intolerance in Britain.
The CCJ was founded, in 1942, by
Chief Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz and
Archbishop William Temple during a time of all-out warfare and
Nazi persecution of Jews. In late
1954, the
Vatican demanded that
English Catholics resign from the CCJ due to its perceived
indifferentism.
