"A group called the Messianic Assembly recently had its church ; set. ‘on fire,”..

': Rossing said: ‘We later. discovered it had

Jewish’. -anti-missionary - groups have : stepped up a propaganda ¢ campaign in the. Hebrew press which'did not always draw a: distinction between Christians who just wanted to practise their faith in peace and quiet and the minority which was out to “save Jewish souls,” Rossing said.
