Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian Church in Bethesda, Maryland. The church has a unique partnership with the Bethesda Jewish Congregation (BJC), in which they share the same space for worship. It is believed that this arrangement, which is 46 years old (as of June 20, 2008), is the oldest such relationship in the United States.
In 1998 the BJC and Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church signed a pact, which reads:
We wish to acknowledge and celebrate commonalities and differences. We see this relationship as a living example of understanding and respect among people of different heritage.
