AJC Welcomes Greek Orthodox Letter on Relations with Jews
Rabbi David Rosen December 28, 2010 — New York — AJC welcomed a letter from the Greek Orthodox Church leadership reaffirming the “longstanding dialogue” and “close cooperation” between the church and the Jewish community. The letter to Rabbi David Rosen, AJC International Director of Interreligious Affairs, came in response to AJC’s condemnation of a high-level priest, Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus for his anti-Semitic remarks last week on national Greek TV. “Such unfortunate comments have no place in our hearts and minds,” wrote Metropolitan Emmanuel of France on behalf of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
