Ø Lausanne
Consultation on Jewish Evangelism** [LCJE] 2000
LCJE was formed
by the Theological Statement of the Lausanne Covenant:
·
The
Covenant has been translated locally into more than 20 languages.
·
It has
been adopted by hundreds of churches and parachurch agencies as their basis of
operations and cooperation.
·
It has led
to formations of a number of national and regional movements in
·
It has
been the basis for international consultations on more than 30 subjects, many
of whose findings are published in
All of this has meant that people worked at its concepts and
made them their own locally. The Covenant has become a catalyst for many
cooperative movements, mostly ad hoc and short term and non-competitive with others.
Mandatory
Agreement with the Lausanne Covenant
“Joining
the LCJE entitles you to receive the LCJE bulletin, participate in the North
American and International LCJE consultations, and to be a part of a world-wide
network of Jewish missions. To
join you need to agree to the
See: The Lausanne
Covenant Articles
GPM
Database: Lausanne Covenant
Article #5: Christian Social Responsibility:
“…we affirm that evangelism and socio-political involvement are both part of
our Christian duty.”
LCJE Position on Jewish Identity
“As we
enter a new millennium we recognize that Jewish people express their identity in
many ways and are affected by social, political and religious changes in the
wider society. We also recognize that Jewish identity and therefore Jewish
survival is once again being challenged.
“Those of
us who are Jewish share in the challenges confronting our people and stand with
them in the need to strengthen and preserve our God-given identity. We also
recognize that our faith in Yeshua is seen by many as a threat to Jewish
identity and survival. Yet we believe that the core of Jewish identity is tied
to a purpose and a divine calling that is fulfilled only in Yeshua--to be
reconciled to God and to be a light to the nations for his glory. We
therefore reject the commonly held view that Jews who believe in Jesus are no
longer Jewish.
“Those
of us who are Gentiles affirm that Jews who believe in Yeshua do not forfeit
their Jewish identity; indeed, our own identity as Christians is also
found in Yeshua the Jewish Messiah. Through him our identity is linked to the
destiny of the people
“As
Jews and Gentiles united by faith in Yeshua, we recognize the right of Jewish
believers in Yeshua to maintain a recognizable Jewish identity and to communicate faith in the
Messiah to Jews and Gentiles alike.”
Speakers at LCJE 2000:
·
Stuart
Dauerman –
Director, Hashivenu / Fuller Theological Seminary
“In the Fall of the year 2000, at the beginning of the new millenium,
Messianic Jewish Theological Institute (MJTI) will open its doors for the first
time. MJTI is a new training center for leaders in the Messianic Jewish
movement. Based in Pasadena, California, and in partnership
with Fuller Theological Seminary, MJTI will provide a
graduate-level education equipping congregational and movement leaders to serve
the Jewish people with integrity and mature wisdom.”
Core Principles of Hashivenu:
1. Messianic Judaism is a Judaism, and not a
cosmetically altered “Jewish-style” version of what is extant in the wider
Christian community.
2. G-d's particular relationship with Israel is expressed in the Torah, G-d's
unique covenant with the Jewish people.
3. Yeshua is the fullness of Torah.
4. The Jewish people are “us” not “them.”
5. The richness of the rabbinic tradition is a valuable part of our heritage as
Jewish people.

Arnold
Fructenbaum’s Response to
exposure/criticism of his membership in LCWE/LCJE and defense of the LCWE:
“Speaking
of the LCWE, they state that it is an ‘international movement that was formed
for the purpose of uniting Christian churches to evangelize the world before
the year A.D. 2000.’
“I am
not a member of the LCWE, but my question is: What’s wrong with that purpose? Do they object to churches coming
together for the purpose of evangelizing the world? Is not that the Church’s
calling?
[Note: LCJE web site states, “To
join you need to agree to the
“Furthermore,
the word ‘uniting’ is not quite correct in the way they use it. LCWE was not
trying to get all churches to become one; what they were trying to do is to get
evangelical churches to come together for a cooperative purpose only, and the
goal is to evangelize the world. No church denomination was asked to forget their unique
distinctives. My question again is: What essentially is wrong with that
purpose?…

the text while dealing with the historic

Friends of Israel UK
“With
the particular help of Lance Lambert and David Bivin, the principles and aims
of CFI were worked through word by word, and these Foundation Principles stand
unchanged today. They
are:
* As Christians who have received from God a love
for Israel and the Jewish people, we want, in the name of Messiah Jesus, to
bless them.
* The early Church was Jewish. Christianity sprang
from Jewish roots and has never ceased to depend upon and be indebted to the
Jewish people.
* We believe that the restoration of the Jewish
people to the Land of Israel is in accordance with promises contained in the
Old and New Testaments, and that God's time to ‘favour Zion’ has begun.
* We believe that Israel (people, land and nation)
has a Divinely ordained and glorious future, and that God has neither rejected nor
replaced His Jewish people. We acknowledge that the barriers that exist today
between Jews and Christians are largely due to
Christian anti-semitism and Christian persecution of the Jews.
* We believe in the Jewishness of Jesus and the Jewishness of the New Testament.
* Although we believe our Lord Jesus is both the Messiah of Israel and
the Saviour of the world, our stand alongside Israel is not conditional upon
her acceptance of our belief.”
“I again wish to note I have
no objections to the arguments of the Jerusalem School being considered for purely scholarly purposes
within an academic format, or being researched and investigated by Christians
with an interest in the Jewish roots of their faith. Indeed
in our own newsletter we have advertised seminars with David Bivin.”

History: “Following

thinking which led to the first UK Church Growth Consultation in 1978... The
Bible Society had also begun to develop Church Growth Courses...and
developments in the work of the Evangelical Alliance had led to the setting up of a Church Growth
Unit... This Unit drew together a number of leaders involved in the church
growth field but it was agreed to widen its impact by the formation of an
Association which would be even more comprehensive and effective. So the
British Church Growth Association was formed in September 1981...”

In October 1963 Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant observers at the Second
Vatican Council shared with Pope Paul VI the dream of an international ecumenical institute for
theological research and pastoral studies. After his 1964 pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the Vatican purchased Tantur (Arabic for
"hilltop"), then leased it to the University of Notre Dame (USA) for
fifty years…Under the guidance of both Protestant and Roman Catholic rectors,
the Institute has welcomed over 3,500 Orthodox, Protestant, Anglican and Roman
Catholic participants to its programs.

The Thornton Institute for
Business Ethics
Part of the original vision for The Park,
Moggerhanger, was that it would become a place where industry and commerce could
come for training courses that would help reaffirm the need for business and
commerce to be conducted according to biblical principles. This Vision was seen in the
context of the very specific historic connections between Moggerhanger House
and the City, being the former home of Godfrey Thornton, a former Governor
of The Bank of England. Similarly, the house itself has a significant
spiritual heritage, being the home for meetings of the Clapham
Sect, the
early 19th Century group of evangelical Christians who were instrumental in
introducing many of the great social reforms of that time.
The Thornton Institute, sponsored by the Centre for
Contemporary Ministry, has been established to facilitate residential training
courses which will be open to middle and senior managers of all companies. The
courses will not be overtly ‘Christian’. They will nevertheless seek to teach
the merits of basing a company ethos on a system of ethics that has its roots
in biblical principles. Participants, whether they be Christians or not,
will be encouraged to use these principles as their measure when conducting
business.
This will not be anew departure for
the City of London. For some hundreds of years, commercial practice in the City
has had biblically based principles as the foundation of the life of the whole
business community. The booklet 'Rules for the Conduct of Life', given to Freemen in
the City since the seventeenth century, bears testimony to this rich heritage
that was instrumental in establishing the integrity of the City in which a
person’s word was his bond.

Messengers
of Messiah - Peter Michas**
Peter Michas on the
originality and inspiration of the Greek New Testament:
“Like most
Christians, I had been taught that the New Testament was originally written in
Greek and the Old Testament in Hebrew. However, as I continued to study, I
found that the wording of the first four gospels of the New Testament seemed to
be an attempt to express ideas from a language and culture other than Greek. I
wondered: If the Gospels were originally written in Judea (or possibly Antioch,
the largest Christian community of the early Church), by Jews, about a Jew in
Jewish culture, could it be that the Greek was, in fact, attempting to express
the Hebrew language and Jewish culture? This required further investigation. …I
ended up going into a place called the Chabbad House which was run by the Lubovich, the ultra-orthodox rabbis. This
was the beginning of my education in the Hebraic roots of the Bible.” [Peter Michas, The
Rod of an Almond Tree in Gods Master Plan, WinePress Publishing, 1997, p.
19.]

Lynn Leslie’s review of The Rod
of an Almond Tree in Gods Master Plan in The Christian Conscience [Jan/Feb.
1998]:
“So how
well have Michas et al. filled in the blanks [of the Greatest Story Ever Told]?
Quite well, actually. Starting with the
premise that Gods plan should be examined within its Hebraic context… the
authors draw upon an assortment of other references of Jewish history and
tradition. These include, among others, the Talmud…The Gemara…the Midrash…and
the Torah Anthology…
“Obviously,
the Michases and Vander Maten are left open to criticism for relying on
extrabiblical references in order to delineate Gods Master Plan. However, they
do an excellent job of resting on the ultimate authority of the Bible in making
their case… Their presentation is both thought-provoking and compelling and a
must-read for
anyone desiring a more thorough understanding of God’s provision for the
redemption of His fallen creation.”

Another Jesus people movement could be near, a heaven-sent revolution far greater than the worldwide Jesus movement of 1971-1975, when hundreds of thousands of hippies and radicals were swept into the kingdom. Even now, it is at the door.”

Moody initially (and for years) had more to do with that movement, behind the scenes, than any other person. …after he got to England, he was invited to speak at Cambridge… Seven of the top Cambridge athletes set out for China as missionaries… The older brother (later mayor of London) of one of those students was urged by Moody to visit YMCA groups on U.S. campuses. He did. The brother’s efforts not only won over John R. Mott, but made possible the first ‘Urbana,’ which was a month-long Bible study presided over by Moody.”

“For
our own reflection, particularly for those of us in mission, we must return to
the doctrine of the two mandates… The cultural mandate…involves the whole of
human culture and includes the natural and social aspects of man such as
habitat, agriculture, industrialization, commerce, political, social and moral
order, academic and scientific achievement, health, education, and physical
care…Nowhere does Scripture say that this mandate is revoked... In our IFMA
mission agencies and across the missions world, we find entire agencies and
some departments within other agencies, who specialize in one mandate or the
other.

Critiques/exposes of the Misslers:
Missler's House Salad Should be Tossed by Willy Peterson
“Issue after issue, interview after interview (at the mic of CNP'er, John Ankerberg), Missler keeps on expounding ‘progressive’ ‘new paradigm’ thinking, as espoused in Aquarian sources, such as Marilyn Ferguson. The August issue of his Personal Update has Missler promoting the new age physicist, David Bohm, in an article titled, Is Our Reality Only Virtual? According to Missler, Bohm is the hottest thing since sliced geometry: ‘There also seems to be evidence to suggest that our world...consists of...projections from a level of reality so beyond our own that the real reality is literally beyond both space and time. The main architect of this astonishing idea includes one of the world's most eminent thinkers...David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein's and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists.’ That whole idea of an illusory material world is very well known to new agers like Marilyn Ferguson as the Eastern doctrine of MAYA.”

Signer, Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship / Interfaith Coalition for Environmental Stewardship [ICES]
The Cornwall Declaration is a “Christianized”
version of the United Nations Earth Charter – an environmental statement of
faith signed by Roman Catholics, Jews and Protestants.
The Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship and the coalition built after it, the Interfaith Coalition for Environmental Stewardship, are ecumenical initiatives which make environmental stewardship a religious issue and incorporate the New Age philosophy and agenda in the programs of Protestantism, Catholicism and Judaism.
...25 leading theologians,
economists, environmental scientists and policy experts got together in
October, 1999, in West Cornwall, Connecticut.
They recognized that:
The 20th Century brought
unprecedented improvement in human health, nutrition, life expectancy, and
environmental quality.
We have an opportunity, and a moral obligation, to build on these
advances, and share them with less fortunate people in America and developing
nations.
None of this would be possible, were it not for the religious, economic,
and scientific traditions which are now under assault.
Out of that October meeting came a vitally important document: The
Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship. Designed to spark debate on these
critical issues of humanity and the environment, it has already been signed by over 1,000 leading clergy, theologians,
scholars, and other people of good will and is supported by three
scholarly monographs entitled Environmental Stewardship in the Judeo-Christian
Tradition that offer unique Jewish, Catholic, and
Protestant perspectives on this important issue.
Also out of that meeting grew an impressive coalition of like-minded individuals and organizations which recently formed the Interfaith Coalition for Environmental Stewardship (ICES) — a group dedicated to demonstrating widespread support for traditional principles of stewardship.
Through the Cornwall Declaration campaign, ICES is building
a network of religious, academic and community leaders who can offer sound
theological, scientific and economic perspectives on these issues. Soon, they will provide a credible
alternative to liberal environmental advocacy for people in congregations,
schools, government, and the religious and secular media.
And over time, they will ensure that sound theology, science and
economics guide the principles of stewardship for people around the globe.
ICES has removed the names of all but the “Notable
Signers” of this document, such as James Dobson, Bill Bright,
Chuck Colson, D. James Kennedy and Don Wildmon, all members of the CNP. However, the list of “Other
Signers” is available on our website: http://watch-unto-prayer.org/cornwall-signers.html
