#1 Now how did I know the Anglican "church" would be involved even before I clicked on the headline?

And yes, the scare quotes are around "church" on purpose.

#2 I have no problem with this, especially since I consider divestment of the Anglican church offering plates to be the best response to this action.

#3 The Anglican church in UK and US has been on life support for years, this will be their death blow. Bravo! I attend a nondenominational church, and one good thing about that is knowing that part of my tithes ar NOT going to denominational headquarters where it will go to fund this kind of crap, pedophile priests, heretical Bishops, dues to the National Council of Churches and other assorted bullshit!

#4 Anglican Church = oxymoron
This is what happens when social causes ovetake a faith movement.

#5 The aptly named PC-USA (Presbyterians) are right there with them. Maybe even ahead.

#6 What's the delegation's next stop on their trip?

Perhaps Beslan, in order to condemn Putin's slaughter of the "fighters" and to "gather facts" before calling for divestment from Russia?

#7 Maybe Jews should consider boycotting interfaith activities with the PC-USA.

#8 LH - I think they should gather facts toward that end, yes.

As an aside: I'm starting to see why Willow Creek Community Church and Harvest Bible Chapel (both here in the Chicago area) are Mega-Churches.

#9 Did you notice that they didn't consider divestment into Sudan or the countries who support it?

Why?

#10 To increase attendence, the Anglican church should incorporate and turn the churches into disco-pizzerias. I hear Palestinians are especially attracted to such venues.
