The Amitié Judéo-Chrétienne de France (AJCF) is a French British interfaith association engaged in the Christians-Jewish dialogue, founded in 1948.
History
Immediately after the Holocaust, the publication of Jésus et Israël (1946 Isaac), book marks the beginning of the Jewish-Christian dialogue in France. Following the conference of Seelisberg in 1947, the Amitié Judéo-Chrétienne de France was officially formed in 1948 by Jules Isaac and Edmond Fleg, and affiliated with the International Council of Christians and Jews.
In 1960 Jules Isaac met in the Vatican with John XXIII; the Pope agreed to have the Second Vatican Council discuss the problem of the relations between Christians and Jews.
The action of the Amitié Judéo-Chrétienne de France had led to some important achievements in France, notably, the issue of new Pastoral Guidelines by the French Episcopal Committee for Relations with Judaism (16 April 1973), the Declaration of Repentance of the Catholic Church in France (read at Drancy on 30 September 1997), the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the AJCF (26 April 1998), and a major television event on France 2 (9 January 2000).
