The Archbishop of Canterbury, in a letter to the London Times, yesterday attacked anti-Semitism as the “most tragic example” of racial and religious intolerance which still threatens basic human rights a full year after the end of World War II.
The Archbishop joined other religious leaders, including the Catholic Archbiship of Westminister, the Moderators of the Scottish Free Churches, a deputy of the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, and representatives of the Council of Christians and Jews, in an appeal for public support of the work of the Council. He declared that the efforts of the Council were “more urgent today with the whole future of world Jewry in jeopardy and with racial prejudice and intolerance actually on the increase in many parts of the world.”
