The last issue of Kesher caused some controversy with the publication of "Competing Trends In Messianic Judaism: The Debate Over Evangelicalism," by Gabriela Reason. As Editor-in-Chief, I feel that it is necessary to clarify the position of Kesher concerning this article. The author, Gabriela Reason, does not represent any constituency within the Messianic movement; neither is the publication of the article intended to exalt the UMJC over the MJAA or vice-versa. In fact, Reason makes critical and supportive statements of trends in both the UMJC and MJAA. Furthermore, Kesher's publication of this article does not reflect an endorsement of Reason's conclusions. As stated in the previous issue of Kesher, "The views expressed in Kesher do not necessarily represent the official position of the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations."
