Yechiel Eckstein, founder and president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, said that in a 15-minute phone conversation Charlie Ward displayed an “open heart, a spirit of repentance and a desire to learn how” to “extend his hand to the Jewish people in a sensitive way and learn more about Jews and Judaism.”
