Can We Talk About Jews?
Carmel Page
Who is considered Jewish is a complex topic. It can refer to ethnicity, religion, or a blend of both. To avoid misinformation and offense when discussing Jews requires a sensitivity to potentially offensive language and stereotypes, and it demands compassion when discussing Jewish suffering, particularly related to the Holocaust/Shoah.

Community Discussion
Very educational presentation, and one that challenges our community to think about an issue that has profound implications. By and large, and contrary to other faith traditions, Christadelphians see a future role in God’s plan both for Israel (political entity) and the Jewish (ethnoreligious) people. In my experience, this represents the typical exposition of Matt. 24:32-35 and Romans 11. In some ways our interest reflects a certain dehumanized detachment, not unlike that of the Catholic Church “Doctrine of Witness” policy towards Judaism and ethnic Jews of the Middle Ages. This policy offered a degree of protection, while at the same time delegitimizing the faith and people because of the group’s valuable (unsolicited) testimony to God’s gracious faithfulness. Caution! We are not far removed from that view.
