Through this role and more widely, she conveyed a deep sense of the importance of interfaith relations, inspired by her own Christian faith. Thisfundamental message wasoften communicated in herchristmas broadcasts, which 50 sincerely conveyed a Christian message and at the same time had a more universal appeal, across the boundaries of faiths and nation5. On the many occasionsthat HM the Queen supported CCJ'S work, she expressed her personal endorsement of endeavours to improve relationships between people of different faiths in her diverse kingdom. Her Majesty generously hosted annual receptions for CCJ Presidents and members in the 19805 and '90s, and was a special guest at CCJ'S 70th anniversary celebration in 2011. All these occasions are remembered wamily by those who attended. We at CCJ are deeply 8rateful to Her Majesty for the service she gave to the people of the United Klngdom and the Commonwealth and particularly to relationships between Jews and Christians. We are confldent that her legacy of faith, duty and hope will inspire all of us to do more to strengthen our country's community offaith5.
