A Presbyterian minister in Boston denounced the Presbyterian Church USA’s resolution to divest from companies that do business with Israel. Speaking at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston’s annual meeting last week, the Rev. Hurmon Hamilton of Roxbury Presbyterian Church and the president of the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization, said he would work within the church and with interfaith allies to rescind the national church’s stance on divestment.

The Presbyterian Church USA is meeting in Birmingham, Ala., later this month to revisit the issue.
