Through the 60s and early 70s, the ADL had conflicted with the American Jewish Congress over their collaborations with evangelicals. Perlmutter and Eckstein changed this orientation, increasing collaborations and developing long-lasting lines of communication between the ADL and evangelical groups. This collaboration continued under the Foxman administration.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Hummel |first1=Daniel G. |title=His Land and the Origins of the Jewish-Evangelical Israel Lobby |journal=Church History |date=December 2018 |volume=87 |issue=4 |pages=1147–1150 |doi=10.1017/S0009640718002391|s2cid=166538830 }}</ref> Since the 1970s, the ADL has partnered with the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] (FBI) field offices, sharing information learned from the monitoring of extremist groups.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Michael|first=George|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5SOAAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA167|title=Confronting Right Wing Extremism and Terrorism in the USA|date=2003|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-134-37762-6|page=167 | volume=4 | series= Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy}}</ref> In 1977 the ADL opened a headquarters in [[Jerusalem]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Wall |first1=Harry |title=Op-ed {{!}} Appreciation: Arnold Forster, ADL leader and Israel advocate |url=https://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-Ed-Contributors/Appreciation-Arnold-Forster-ADL-leader-and-Israel-advocate |access-date=5 August 2021 |work=The Jerusalem Post |date=March 14, 2010}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=August 2021}} It opposed an [[Anti-Mormonism|anti-Mormon]] film called ''[[The God Makers]]'' in 1982, viewing it a challenge to religious freedom.<ref name=":18" /> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
