Council of Christians and Jews

The CCJ maintains a network of approximately 13 active local branches across the United Kingdom, including in Northern Ireland, which organise local dialogue, education, and events to promote Christian-Jewish understanding.[1][2] Known branches include:
North London branch Oxford branch South East London branch Berkshire branch Various other regional groups in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Contribution to laundering and normalising Zionism
The involvement of Zionist philanthropist Maurice Ostro as Vice President, alongside the organisation's location ties to Collaboration House which he funded, positions the CCJ as a key platform for faithwashing.[3] By prioritising narratives around antisemitism while maintaining close alliances with pro-Zionist figures and institutions, the CCJ contributes to normalising the settler colony and deflecting from its policies of occupation and apartheid.[4] Reports suggest that such interfaith structures under occupation often serve normalisation rather than genuine solidarity.[5] This critique is grounded in anti-Zionist beliefs as protected in Miller vs University of Bristol (2024).
