The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant Christian denomination in the US, is currently attempting to end the Jewish religion by converting all Jews to Christianity. Many other Protestant groups are similarly raising funds for a massive effort convert Jews. Jews view these efforts with great distress, and some see them as anti-Semitism. In contrast, the Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church, and the Roman Catholic Church have ended their efforts to convert Jews.
While affirming that there are differences between these two religions, the purpose of Dabru Emet is to point out the common ground between these two religions. It is not an official document of any of the Jewish denominations per se, but it is representative of what many religious Jews (both rabbis and laypeople) feel. (See website of [[Dabru Emet]])
