Ecumenical Wedding Ceremonies: Co-officiation with Clergy of Other Faiths


Resolution Adopted by the CCAR

ECUMENICAL WEDDING CEREMONIES: CO-OFFICIATION WITH CLERGY OF OTHER FAITHS

Adopted by the CCAR at the 93rd Annual Convention of

the Central Conference of American Rabbis

New York City, June 27-July 1, 1982

In 1909, and again in 1947 and in 1973, the Central Conference of American Rabbis declared its opposition to the performance of mixed marriages by its members. Mindful of these prior resolutions, we now call special attention to the most flagrant form of mixed marriages–co-officiating with non-Jewish clergy-and publicly repudiate that practice.
