As a gesture of goodwill between Christians and Jews the Rev. Dr. Edgar Allen Lowther, pastor of the Temple Methodist Episcopal Church, announced today the church would publish all Jewish holidays in its official calendar.

He expressed the hope that “the General Methodist Conference will approve the recognition and that Methodist churches throughout the nation will adopt this method of ‘taking the first step’ to bring Jews and Christians closer together.”
