Fr James was a key figure, leaving New York with Moishe Rosen for the San Fransisco Bay area in 1970, to start a new mission outreach for Jews. James had a jacket embroidered with ‘Jews for Jesus’ and this is where Moishe obtained the iconic name. A number of the early co-founders started to educate themselves on Christian history and the early Church. In time, they left the Protestant Messianic movement to be joined to the Holy Orthodox Church, where he found the majority of all Judaic roots of Christian worship still alive and being practised today in Orthodox Christian worship.
