- Text
- Resolved, That, the Upper House concurring, the General Synod of the Church of England in Canada extend to the Jewish people throughout the world its profound sympathy in view of the present world situation respecting that ancient race. That the General Synod has an adequate sense of the great debt that the world owes to the Jewish people for their contribution to human knowledge in the realms of Science, Literature and Religion. Above all, it would acknowledge with deep thankfulness that that great treasury of revealed truth, the Old Testament Scriptures, was given and preserved through the instrumentality of the Jewish people; and it is ever mindful of the profound significance of the fact that Jesus Christ, our acknowledged Lord and Saviour, was, after the flesh, the Son of David. It deprecates as being a denial of the principles of Christianity, and therefore abhorent to Christian people, the ill-treatment of Jews, or any other people by nations, communities or individuals, on account of their race or religion. That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Chief Rabbi of the Jews in Canada. MESSAGE NN.
