Abstract:
Comments on a text adopted on 15 September 1988 by the Council and the Synod of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg, setting out the conditions for improved Christian-Jewish relations. Emphasizes the need for Christians to learn about actual Jewish tradition instead of inventing a Judaism that fits conveniently into Christian theology; to recognize Christianity's debt and close relationship to Judaism; to reject antisemitism in the form of anti-Zionism; and to understand the problems of Jewish participants in dialogues with Germans after the Holocaust. This learning should take place at the grassroots level, and is especially necessary for East Germans who were for years deprived of information on Jews and Zionism.
