Northeastern Illinois University David Brickner (born September 29, 1958) is an American ordained Baptist minister[1] who was head of the Messianic Jewish missionary group Jews for Jesus from 1996 to 2024.
A Los Angeles Times article reported that "the controversy has touched a nerve that underlies religious relations."
David Brickner, the group's executive director, said the bishops had 'crossed the line' and betrayed their responsibility to spread the Gospel.
Excluding my Jewish people from Christian witness is theologically and biblically untenable, yet this is exactly what American Catholic bishops' did, Brickner said.
"[11] Brickner was reported to have said on 17 August 2008 that the deaths in the Jerusalem bulldozer attack were God's "judgment" for Jews having failed to convert to Christianity.
