A Jewish-Christian Rift? Liberal Churches Have Become Irrationally Hostile to Israel
(Dallas Morning News) Rod Dreher - Last month, the Washington-based Institute of Religion and Democracy released the disturbing results of a four-year study of human rights criticism issued by four mainline churches - the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Church, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America - as well as the mainline-dominated World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches.
