So this company has to get approval from a church or they'll be threatened with economic damages?

I know that there are at least two major Presbyterian denominations in the US. Any difference in attitudes towards Israel between them?

Representatives from the Presbyterian Church, which has an estimated six million followersReporters who don't know how to use Google.
"The total membership of the PC(USA) at the end of 2012 was 1,849,496, compared to 1,952,287 in 2011, which is a decline of 102,791 members." http://www.pcusa.org/news/2013/5/30/stated-clerk-releases-pcusa-2012-statistics/

That church has been infested with islamonazis for years but there are still many good Christians within it. Every once in awhile , the good people win a round in their battle against Satan’s principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12 ). God bless the good Christians who’ve decided to fight it out within their infiltrated church ( instead of taking the easy way, out).

Any difference in attitudes towards Israel between them?Depending on where you want to draw the line, there are over a dozen presbyterian denominations in this country, admittedly, most are not 'major'. The story deals with the largest, leftwing PCUSA.
The second largest, PCA, has not adopted a position paper on Israel. There may have been an overture adopted at some point, but that denomination tends to try to stick to moral issues, rather than political ones.

Nowhere near that far out.
But they do not fully subscribe to the Westminster Confession, though I hear some congregations are supposed to be on the conservative side.

The only thing I found was what appears to be a resolution from over 20 years ago where the PCA called for the evangelism of both Jews and Gentiles.

The employees in the plant are entirely “Palestinian”, iow, not a big surprise. If the current Presbyterian church leadership had been around during the Holocaust, they’d accuse incinerated Jews of causing climate change. Thanks Olog-hai.

Thank you both. With so many denominations in the country, it can be hard to tell the players without a scorecard.

The PCA we attended was very conservative. ..we even received a letter from the pastor advising all church goers to shun a male member (husband) who had had an affair and was divorcing his wife...

Not the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) or the Orthodox Presbyterian church as far as I know. PC-USA is extremely liberal right now and may be going the way of the Episcopal church.

I give the Presbyterians credit for actually investigating the situation instead of merely following the leftist propaganda.
