Christ Church Jerusalem, the city’s headquarters of the Church’s Ministry among Jewish People (CMJ) is celebrating its 175th anniversary.
Founded in London in 1809 by William Wilberforce and others, CMJ last year celebrated the bicentenary of its involvement in the Holy Land. But it was not until 1849 that Christ Church was built.
London-based Messianic Jewish leader Richard Harvey, speaking at the church, highlighted the centre’s extraordinary influence over the years in praying and working towards greater recognition among Jews of Jesus as their Messiah.
