23 July, 2004
23 July 2004B’nai B’rith International issued a statement this week calling on the Jewish community to end all dialogue with the Presbyterian Church, reports Eric J. Greenberg of the Forward. The proposed severence of contact comes after the church's recent decision to divest from Israel, its comparison of the Jewish state with apartheid South Africa, and its refusal to stop funding messianic congregations which target Jews for conversion. Most of the mainstream press has passed on this story, but even those journalists who've examined it tend to lump the mainline Presbyterian goals together as "liberal"; its funding of messianic congregations, however, is just weird.
