In
1997, the Perth Assembly of the Uniting Church adopted a statement
about the relations between Jews and Christians, and commended
it to synods, parishes and non-parish bodies in the UCA.
Following the Assembly, the Victorian Synod
appointed a Working Group on Christian Jewish Relations. It
has largely an educational role. The chairperson is Rev Dr
Lorraine Parkinson, who was a member of the working group that
prepared material for the 1997 Assembly.
Some of the sensitive issues of concern to the
working group are:
- Supersessionism
and the so-called 'teaching of contempt'
for Jews and Judaism,
- Christian
complicity in the growth of antisemitism,
- the
significance of the Shoah ('Holocaust') for Jews
and Christians,
- the
proper interpretation of Christian Scripture where there appear
to be derogatory statements about Jews and/or Judaism.
