Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress, has sent a message to Dr. W.A. Visser ‘t Hooft, Secretary General of the World Council of Churches, expressing great satisfaction that the Assembly of the World Council in New Delhi unanimously adopted a resolution on anti-Semitism. He emphasized that the World Council of Churches had set an example to many other groups by its action.
Prior to the opening of the Assembly, Dr. Goldmann wrote the Secretary General expressing the hope that the World Council would “speak out clearly on the problems which press so heavily on us” and give attention “to the problem of racial animosities which are the sources not only of so much human suffering but constitute a serious barrier to the growth of international understanding and brotherhood.”
