OCJB

On 13 June, the Chaplain-President represented the Anglican Church at a meeting of the OCJB, the Organe de Consultation entre Chrétiens et Juifs en Belgique / Overlegorgaan van Christen en Joden in België, held at the Great Synagogue in Brussels. Among several dialogues undertaken by the Central Committee, the OCJB is the dialogue which specifically concerns Jews and Christians. On this occasion, M. Samuel Goblet presented his 2021 book Jean-Paul II, le pape des juifs from his own Jewish perspective. This led to a long and fruitful discussion on whether Judaism was intrinsic or extrinsic to Christianity.
