From another faith · Step 6 of 7

For Jewish visitors, and every faith

Our elder brothers, and every seeker.

In short. The Church received the revelation of the Old Testament through the Jewish people, and decries anti-Semitism at any time and by anyone.1 It rejects nothing that’s true and holy in other religions.2

Key points

  • The Jewish people were the first to hear the Word of God.3
  • The passion can’t be charged against all Jews then or today.1,4
  • All peoples form one community, with one origin and one end.5

Try this, this week
