Christian-Jewish Relations
Since its inception, AJC has been one of the leading organizations-Jewish or American--committed to strengthening understanding and communication across religious lines. Our goals include communicating concerns and sensitivities of the Jewish community to those of other faiths, and helping the Jewish community understand the concerns and sensitivities of others. Through organizational partnerships and coalitions, formal and informal discussions and conversations, academic conferences, publications, and personal interaction, our efforts have made major contributions to cooperation and mutual respect among peoples of all faiths.

Sharing common roots and some common texts, relations between the Christian and Jewish communities are the model for all programs in the area of interreligious affairs.

Many of AJC's efforts form bonds between the Jewish community and groups representing a multitude of Christian beliefs. Other initiatives involve partnerships with specific Christian denominations, movements, or organizations.
