TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Trustees present their report together with the Financial Statements of the Council of Christians and
Jews I'CCJ" or'the Charity" or'the Council") for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Reference and administrative details
The Charity is an unincorporated trust, registered with the Charity Commission under Charity Number
238005, and governed by a constitution adopted on 31 December 1997 and last revised in November
2019. The original Council was formally constituted at a meeting of representatives of the Christian and
Jewish communities on 20 March 1942.
The Patronage of His Majesty The King
CCJ is delighted that His Majesty King Charles111, has graciously agreed to confer his patronage on the
Charity. CCJ was honoured to have Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth11 as Patron from 1952 until her passing
in 2022 and is most grateful to the KinE for this continuing recoEnition of the Charity.
Objectives and Artivitie5
The stated objectives of the Charity as set out in the Constitution of the Council of Christians and Jews
are=
l. To promote religious and cultural understanding between Christian and Jewish communities,.
2. To work for the elimination of religious and racial prejudice, hatred and discrimination with particular
reference to antisemitism- and
3. To promote religious and racial harmony on the basis of the ethical and social teachings common to
Judaism and Christianity.
How the Charity has worked to achieve these objectives, for the public benefit
The Trustees express their appreciation to all who supported CCJ'S work in the year ended 31 March 2024
including members, stakeholders, employees, and donors. This has been a challenging year for the
interfaith dialogue sector, including Cci, for the Jewish community in the UK and for all concerned for
peace in the Middle East. CCJ has risen to this challenge in this tumultuous time. Locally, our branches
have continued bringing together jews and Christians for dialogue and discussion around the country.
Nationally, we have carried on our sector-leading education programmes and consultancy at a time when
interfaith dialogue has been fraught. We have successfully mobilised alumni of our programmes and
reached new audiences to help bridge divides in the UK.
Since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7th October 2023 and the ensuing war, CCJ has primarily focused its
efforts on combatting antisemitism in the UK and resourcing leaders for dialogue. In this report, we
highlight two aspects of our activities.. first, our work educating about antisemitism and, second, our work
empowering our networks to be ambassadors for good interfaith relations. CCJ Trustees approved a
midterm strategy in March 2024 to focus primarily on these two aims.
This strategy was partly driven by circumstances, as the war has made our traditional Israel-Palestine
study tour, which takes in sites in Israel as well as in the West Bank, challenging to organise. The strategy
was also driven by the pressing need to fight the surge in antisemitic incidents reported in the UK since
7th October. While huEely difficult, this period has also been a moment when CCJ has come into its own
as providing a unique and much needed consultative and educational resource for the churches as well as
for Jewish communities. Our networks have also been indispensable in keeping Jews and Christians in
dialogue at the senior leadership levels as well as local levels.

THE COUNCIL OF CHRISTIANS AND JEWS
ST
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Education about antisemitism
Since 7th October, we have worked closely with churches and other bodies to educate and advise.
Immediately after the attacks, we worked with the Diocese of London (which covers all Greater London
north of the Thames) to draft a statement referencing the anxiety of the Jewish community within the
diocese. The statement included a quote from the CCI Co-Directors, which read in part. Within the Jewish
community, these barbaric acts of terror have shaken communities to their core, and fear and anxiety is
at an all-time high. Many of our Jewish friends and colleagues are personally impacted, with family
members or friends held hostage, missing, or even sadly murdered. At times like this, words matter, as
does compassionate leadership. We encourage clergy to check in and reach out to nearby synagogues and
to Jewish faith leaders, friends and colleagues who are mourning and scared during this time.
CCI also helped draft a statement that was read out to a thousands-strong audience in Trafalgar Square,
London. before the performance of Holy Week passion play. This statement condemned the historical
connection between passion plays and the persecution of Jews over the centuries. and drew attention to
positive relations in the last 60 years.
CCI provided consultation to the Quakers (Society of Friends), the United Reformed Church, the
Methodist Church, and others to help these Christian communities consider their language and provide
guidance to their constituencies around antisemitism. CCJ statements or initiatives were referenced from
the floor of important annual Eatherings such as Methodist Conference and the Church of Scotland
General Assembly.
CCJ'S antisemitism expertise has continued to be sought in workshops and more formal education within
various contexts. We ran an education series in Lent 2024 in the Church in Wales, and CCJ staff delivered
teaching at St Hild Theological College in Yorkshire, and Sarum College, Salisbury. For a Jewish audience,
CCI paired with the London School of Jewish Studies for a course on different understandings of covenant,
in summer 2024.
CCJ has continued its highly regarded Holocaust education study tours for the most senior Christian
leaders by organising a Poland study tour in late October 2023. The programme explored the history of
Jewish life in the country, before. during and after the Second World War,- visiting Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow,
and Auschwitz-Birkenau. The participants included Bishops and Ministers, Trustees, Chaplains, and
theologians from the United Reformed Church, the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church, the
Greek Orthodox Church, the Church of Scotland, the Methodist Church, and the Church of God of
Prophecy. The group met current Jewish and Christian leaders in Poland as well as intensively studying
Jewish history and the Holocaust. This tour received funding from the Association of Jewish RefLJgees, the
Claims Conference, and the United Reformed Church.
Finally, CCI gathered more than 120 participants at an antisemitism webinar briefing in March 2024. The
briefing featured input from the CEO of the Board of Deputies of British Jews as well as representatives
from the Community Security Trust and the Union of jewish Students and was the only one of its kind for
a Christian audience. Sixty-five percent of participants giving feedback gave the event top marks,. one
participant said the event equipped 'ordinary people to be more aware of antisemitism and capable of
playing their part in countering it,.
In this way, in the last year CCJ has educated about antisemitism and other topics at senior leadership
levels as well as local levels, in a variety of contexts.

TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Dialogue and network empowerment
Over the last year we have also sought to foster dialogue and communication between our stakeholder
communities, and to train our networks to be ambassadors for good relations in this challenging time.
In the last year, Ca's branches have been a bulwark for friendship, dialogue, and respertful disagreement
truly a model for how different faiths can weather a challenging time and remain in relationship. CCJ
branches have held events on a variety of theological, political, and cultural themes,. they have hosted
garden parties and tours of places of workshop,. they have welcomed keynote speakers for annual
lectures,. and they have helped ensure that jews and Christians have maintained relations around the
country.
In November 2023 we brought together over 60 Rabbis and Christian Clergy for a conference about the
strengths and limits of dialogue at Westminster Cathedral Hall. Cardinal Vincent Nichols welcomed
participants, and workshops were led by Tim Robertson (Anne Frank Trust UK) and Nathan Servi (Stand
Upl Education against Discrimination),. Rabbi David Mason IHIAS+JCOREI and Emily Shepherd (Welcome
Churches),. Chine McDonald ITheosl and Dr Jonathan Boyd Ilnstitute for Jewish Policy Research),. Sarah
Derriey, Bill Miller (Food Cycle) and Louise Froggett (New North London Synagogue). The gathering
represented one of the largest of its kind in Europe last year.
At local levels, our flagship Campus Leadership Programme and our branches around the country rose to
the challenge of bringing Jews and Christians together. The past academic year has seen two cohorts of
Campus Leaders completing the programme at the same time, because we began our programme
relaunch in 2022. Across the two cohorts we have had 14 Campus Leaders from 7 universities- Oxford,
Cambridge, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Durham, and Birmingham. We have also engaged with students and
chaplains from Manchester, Manchester Met, Salford, Warwick, Glasgow, UCL, Nottingham and
Huddersfield Universlties. The Campus Leaders have developed as interfaith ambassadors, and they have
organi2ed impactful interfaith events across the UK. Since October 7th, the Campus Leadership
programming has been responding to antisemitic incidents on campuses including letters of support to
affected chaplains and a letter to the National Union of Students. In the letter a number of students and
CCI staff wrote to decry the 'completely unacceptable, graffiti and reports of negative jewish student
experiences at an NUS conference.
CCJ events were held regularly around the country in the 20 different branches. CCJ West of Scotland, for
example, collaborated with Interfaith Glasgow to produce a resource entitled 'Creating Brave Spaces, to
enable dialogue about Israeli and Palestinian conflict.
Communications
CCI has been a leader in effective, clear, and balanced communications in an increasingly turbulent media
environment. We received posltive press coverage in the past year, sharing news of our work with a wide
audience. Examples include articles in the Church Times, coverage in the Jewish News, and more.
Internal communications have included Zoom meetings with CCJ Branch leaders on a regular basis.
Considerable work ha5 also been carried out by CCJ central office to update and improve internal systems
used for communications.
CCJ'S newsletter, published several times a month online, has been sent regularly to nearly 3000 readers.

International Council of Christians and Jews IICCJ) and other Interfaith Bodies
CCI is a member organisation of the International Council of Christians and Jews and of the Inter Faith
Network IIFNI. The CCJ Co-Directors attended the ICCJ conference in Boston in June 2023.
Key Stakeholders
We have continued to work closely with Lambeth Palace, the Office of the Chief Rabbi and all other CCI
Presidents and their representatives.
A CCJ Presidents, meeting was held in person at the new library at Lambeth Palace, and many meetinES
were also held by the Co-Directors with leaders across Christian and Jewish communities.
Partner Relationships
CCI has expanded and strengthened relationships with key stakeholders, and in particular, with student
chaplains, student unions, the Union of Jewish Students, Student Christian Movement, UCCF.. Christian
Unions and others.
CCI participated actively in partnership-building in relation to our Holocaust Education work, including
with the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the Holocaust Education Trust, Yad Vashem, and the Association
of Jewish Refugees.
We maintained active channels of communication with other representative bodies including the Inter
Faith Network, Interfaith Glasgow, Interfaith Scotland, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, and the
Board of Deputies of British Jews. The closure of the Inter Faith Network in May 2024 has made the work
of these 8roups, including CCJ, more important than ever before.
Future objectives
Led by the Co-Directors, CCJ will reinvigorate and support its membership and the Branches, which carry
on the work of CCJ at the local level so well. This has already begun, through a membership review,
resulting in the first rise in membership fees for many years, and a Branch Survey to better understand
concerns and needs. CCJ will continue to strengthen communication and cooperation between the
Branches and the national office.
The current Campus Leadership managers, appointed in June 2022, will continue to work across the UK
from a Manchester base to identify, train and support students across the UK to be leaders in interfaith
dialogue on their campuses and educate about student cohesion at university, including antisemitism.
They have begun recruitment for the next cohort of students.
We will further develop our educational resources including our antisemitism awareness training,
particularly for Christian leaders and charities working on Jewish-christian dialogue.
CCJ will continue to develop and grow its media profile in order to widen the audience of Jews and
Christians for its programmes.
CCI will run another Rabbi-clergy conference in the next year, to bring together Jewish and Christian
clergy and non-ordained faith leaders.
