#1 Jewish-Presbyterian relations have suddenly plummeted to "a new low point." Rather than explain how to avoid anti-Jewish bias, they complain, the new document "reads as a blueprint for how to engage in anti-Israel activity without being accused of anti-Semitism."

This should not have happened suddenly because the descent of the PCUSA into anti-Israelism and the attendant soft core anti-semitism have been going on for what seems like decades. It is a major reason why I have never reassociated myself with the PCUSA when moving after having been brought up in it as a child.

#2 Agreed, Nimble Spemble. The is another Presbyterian organization, which I believe originally separated from PCUSA because of disagreements on the Israel/antisemitism issue, which has been quite admirable in its statements and behaviour, from what I can recall. You might want to look into finding a congregation associated with them, instead.

#3 Well this and getting rid of the Holy Trinity is why I don't go back.

#5 They're well on the way to becoming unitarians.

Perhaps even Frisbeeterians. You know, the ones that believe when you die your soul flies out of control, lands on the roof and you can't get it down.

#6 If Koufax is pitching for the Jews, they've got to be favored by at least three runs.

#7 In my lifetime my family has wandered through Quakerism, Presbyterianism and Methodism, and each are prime examples of O'Sullivan's law. Worse yet, apparently, are the leftovers of the congregationalist churches - so crucial to the founding at settling of the original 13 colonies, only to have "evolved" into their present state as the welcoming home of the likes of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

So many turning over in so many graves.
