This morning, Dr. Cliff Cain, Harrod - C.S. Lewis Professor of Religious Studies at Westminster College, joined us to share his reflections as a Christian on his faith's history of Antisemitism. Too often, the Christian church has "complied" with anti-Jewish narratives, from Medieval blood libels to the genocidal Nazi regime to present-day conspiracy theories. However, it is important to remember the individuals and organizations who "defied" antisemitic attitudes, such as those in the World War 2 era who hid Jews or who helped them escape persecution. Today, Dr. Cain sees hope in Christian leaders reaching a new theological understanding and moving to reconcile with their Jewish brothers and sisters. He also sees hope in connections between individuals --- the more we know each other, the easier it is to defy the messages of hate.
