Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations

Who Are We?

It is dedicated to research, publication, educational programming, and interreligious dialogue that respect the religious integrity and self-understanding of the various strands of the Jewish and Christian traditions.

As its name suggests, the Council serves as a network for the sharing of information, research, and resources among academic and educational organizations. While most of these are centers or institutes are located in North America, there are also affiliate members from overseas. Representatives from major Christian and Jewish agencies and religious bodies in the United States are also members.
