A world wide effort to increase the number of converts to Christianity among Jews is being planned by a group of converts terming themselves the International Hebrew Christian Alliance. Conferences in all parts of the world are to take place.
Sir Leon Levinson, president of the Alliance, has gone to the United States to participate in a converts’ convention which is to take place in Buffalo, N. Y., April 25 to May 1.
Following the conclusion of the Buffalo conference, the president of the Alliance will, it was announced here, proceed to Cologne where a conference of converted Jews in Germany will take place.
Sir Leon Levinson, president of the International Hebrew Christian Alliance, arrived in New York yesterday. In an interview with the representative of the “New York Times,” Sir Leon claimed that there are about 150,000 Jews who have been converted to Christianity throughout the world and that about 50,000 had been converted since the signing of the World War peace treaty.
