One of the issues that arose during CCJ Hillingdon's June event (Rabbi Danny Rich on 'Jesus the Jew' at Ruislip Methodist Church) was a resolution passed by the Methodists at their recent Annual Conference to accept a report that called for, among other things, a boycott of goods made in Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories. CCJ Central Office recently published a statement on this issue: download it here.

We at Hillingdon CCJ completely support the national CCJ view and, although not ignoring or approving of the proposed boycott, we will continue to retain our good relations with members of the Methodist Church. In this connection we are, therefore, pleased to publicise a local initiative whereby there will be a meeting in the form of a dialogue between Jews and Methodists on the Israel/Palestine situation at The Methodist Church, Oaklands Gate, Northwood, HA6 3AA at 8.00pm on Tuesday 27 July 2010. The discussion will be led by Rev. Sam McBratney and Rabbi Aaron Goldstein. Everyone is most welcome to attend this meeting.

CCJ Hillingdon's June event led to many requests for the text and recording of Rabbi Danny Rich's talk, Jesus the Jew. Download the text here.
