U.S. Groups to Host Dinner for Ahmadinejad
[Jerusalem Post] Allison Hoffman - The Anti-Defamation League has issued a statement criticizing Mennonite and Quaker leaders for hosting a dinner reception for Iran's president in New York later this month. The dinner, scheduled for Sep. 25, is touted as a dialogue by the pacifist religious groups, which advocate diplomatic engagement with Iran's political leadership. "Ahmadinejad represents a rejection of everything these religious groups stand for," Abraham Foxman, national director of the ADL, said Wednesday. Representatives from a broad range of Christian ecumenical organizations, including the Episcopal Church, plan to attend the dinner.
