Stephen Sizer was once enthusiastically (if uncritically) pro-Israel. Then he discovered the Palestinian problem and changed sides. He therefore writes with the excessive zeal of a convert. My main problem is not the inaccuracies in his work. It is the serious misrepresentation of CMJ that I really object to.
Officially we are still the 'London Society for the Promotion of Christianity among the Jews'. We don't use that 19th-century title, with its unhelpful terminology, but it does describe what we are about. It is ludicrous to put us in the same category as Zionist Christian organisations which disavow evangelism in order to facilitate their work.
Aims
In 1809 CMJ became the first Christian Society in 2,000 years to take the gospel to the Jewish community in many countries including the Holy Land. Evangelism is still our first aim.
