Dear en,
Why should a British evangelical missionary organisation to the Jewish people need to consider dropping the word Israel from its title? Because the wrong attitudes and thoughts about the Jewish people, which you rightly warned your readers against (en, October 2018, p.5), exist among British evangelicals.
The fact is that the word ‘Israel’ causes some to put the phone down. From a biblical perspective such attitudes should come as no surprise, because Paul warns Gentile Christians against boasting over the Jews; but they should be deplored and constantly resisted. How can we test ourselves? In much the same way as the Labour Party has been tested – by focusing upon the State of Israel, its origin and behaviour.
