Looks like the Presbyterian leadership is starting to backtrack on their proposal to divest from Israel as the outrage catches up with them.4. The assembly authorized exploration of a selective divestment of church funds from those companies whose business in Israel is found to be directly or indirectly causing harm or suffering to innocent people, Palestinian or Israeli. It did not approve a blanket divestment from companies that do business in Israel, as is being reported in some places.(Start with that paragraph and read down about 5 more.)
But that's okay, because Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams is doing enough dhimmi duty for the whole left end of the Christian world.
The head of the worldwide Anglican Church, the archbishop of Canterbury, will reportedly mark the third anniversary of the September 11 attacks by praising Islam in an address from the pulpit of an Egyptian mosque. Rowan Williams had accepted an invitation to speak at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, considered by many to be the Muslim world's most important centre of learning, Britain's Sunday Times said today. He would speak of the common ground between Christianity and Islam with their shared inheritance as "children of Abraham", the report said.Does anyone else notice any Oedipal overtones in that last sentence?
