This paper focuses on John Hagee and his path to become the leader of the largest and most publicized Christian Zionist group in the United States and the world, Christians United For Israel (CUFI).

How did he become such a friend of Israel and so remarkable a leader ? What is his background ? This article looks deeper at how an Evangelical pastor became a political public figure capable of rallying large numbers of Evangelicals to follow him in his pro-Israel activism.

One of the most important developments in American Judaism of the twentieth century was the rise of Conservative Judaism, a distinct American interpretation of traditional Rabbinic Judaism. The process by which Conservative Judaism emerged as a movement distinct from orthodoxy dates essentially from the period 1920-1950. This article is a study of one of the major incidents of this emergence: the case of Rabbi Solomon Goldman and the Jewish Center [JC] of Cleveland, Ohio. In 1925 Rabbi Goldman instigated ritual and architectural changes in his congregation that were challenged by traditionalist elements within the synagogue. The case went to court and caused a sensation in the United States. This article is based on recently discovered archival material. It contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the emergence of Conservative Judaism as a distinct religious movement in the early twentieth century.

SummarySection 10 of the Ontario labour Relations Act, concerning certification of unions, as well as Section 4 of The Fair Employment Practices Act require that a trade union must extend the opportunity of membership and the right incidental to membership, equally and impartially and on the same terms and conditions to persons of all creeds. Any arbitrary or discriminatory denial of these right and opportunities is not only inimical to basic democratic principles but is incompatible wtih the union's obligation as an exclusive bargaining agent to represent all employees in the bargaining unit.Trenton Construction Workers Association, local No 52, affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada, Applicant, and Tange Company Limited, Respondent; Ontario Labour Relations Board, File No. 20576-60, November 13, 1961.
