CHRISTIANS WERE THE FIRST ANTI-SEMITES
Even before the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70 CE, Christian writers and opinion were against the Jews. If you read the later gospels, for instance, you will find specific references to "the Jews" as opposing Jesus, rather than the Pharisees or Sadducees or Scribes, as if "the...

WHY I CAN NO LONGER REMAIN AN EPISCOPALIAN
If you have read anything I have written, then you can ascertain that my views diverge from the traditional Christian views. I was confirmed into the Episcopal Church in 1976.
