Mutual understanding between Christians and Jews in Britain is applied by the Council of Christians and Jews and its executive in the widest sense, the Rev. C. Witton-Davies, chairman of the executive, told the annual meeting of the organization today.
He said the Council fostered work between Jews and Christians in education and in social service activities. He reported that the next lecture in the annual Robert Waley-Cohen Memorial series would be given in 1962 by Dr. Michael Ramsay, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Council ratified a decision of the executive to participate in a consultative body of organizations working for Jewish-Christian cooperation.
Queen Elizabeth is patron of the organization. New officials elected today were the Archbishop, Moderators of the Church of Scotland and the Free Church Assembly Council and Chief Rabbi Israel Brodie–presidents; Lord Cohen, Sir John Wolfender and MP Cyril Black–vice-presidents; Viscount Chandos and Edmond de Rothschild–honorary treasurers; and Percy Bartlett and A.G. Brotman, secretary of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, honorary secretaries.
