I have high school friends, a Presbyterian minister and his wife, good, intelligent people. They went on a church-sponsored trip to Israel and when they came back all they talked about was the suffering of the Palestinians under the Israelis.

It was a canned tour - they could have been exposed to the sufferings of the Jews and the Christians from the Muslims - they could have been shown all sides of this sorry conflict - but they weren't.

I really don't understand why the Presbyterian church is doing this.

Because me and my bride visit her ailing Mother freq, I have had occasions to go with my Mother-in-law to the local Presbyterian Church. After going to Mass at a Cathedral attending a presbyterian service gives new meaning to "and twice on Sunday."

In any event, I haven't been back since the local minister attacked Catholic Doctrine on the eucharist and the mass as heretical during his sermon.

I experienced the remarks as falling short of the optimum ecumenical atmospherics I expected :)

As to why this Presbyterian Organisation opposes Israel, I don't really know. I do think it wrong

"I really don't understand why the Presbyterian church is doing this."

The Presbyterians, like the Methodists, Episcopalians, and UCC, have been taken over by ultra-leftwing radicals. The people in the pews refuse to accept their "denomination" has become a scourge to Christianity. Instead the membership keeps sending money up the denominational ladder to keep the leftist scoundrels in their jobs.
