About CCJR

The Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations is an association of centers and institutes in the United States and Canada devoted to enhancing mutual understanding between Jews and Christians.

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 the United States, there are also affiliate members from overseas. Representatives from major Christian and Jewish agencies and religious bodies in the United States are also members.


The Council of Centers has these types of memberships:

  • Regular members: centers, institutes, and similar entities in the United States and Canada with a major concern for Christian-Jewish studies and relations. Each regular member organization is entitled to one vote in Council deliberations.

  • Affiliate Members: centers, institutes, and similar entities outside the United States with a major concern for Christian-Jewish studies and relations. Affiliate Members have voice but not vote in the affairs of the Council.

  • Liaison Representatives: representatives of national ecclesiastical bodies or national Jewish religious or communal organizations. Liaison Representatives have voice but not vote in the affairs of the Council.

  • Individual Members: persons active in the field of Christian-Jewish relations whose membership entitles them to website privileges open only to members. They are invited to attend annual CCJR meetings but do not participate in the business meeting.

  • Student Members: Graduate and undergraduate students studying Christian-Jewish relations or related fields may apply for membership with the same privileges as Individual Members.  Contact the webmaster for details.
