New York (ENI). The United Church of Christ in the United States has rejected claims that it has changed its policy on the Middle East after accepting a resolution that its executive council consider "ongoing balanced study, commentary and critique" about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Unlike the initial resolution, this was expected. The leadership of this denomination is following the same corrupt and dishonest strategy enjoined by bureaucratic leaders in the PC(USA). They are betting that members will lack the stomach to actually call them on misrepresenting their own initiatives - and, as in the PC(USA), they're most likely right.
