15 July 2004
15 July 2004Leaders of mainline Presbyterianism have "officially equated the Jewish state with apartheid and voted to stop investing in Israel" -- making it the first major Christian denomination to do so. The Forward reports disapprovingly, but neglects the sharpened wedge this decision drives between the already antagonistic American evangelical and mainline Protestant communities. Major secular papers, meanwhile, ignored the 3-million strong denomination's general assembly -- except for The Washington Post, which buried it in the metro section.
