One of the attendees was a recent grad from an Ivy League university with an impressive degree in gender studies.<br />Although the divestment vote squeaked by, there was also a resolution to expunge references to Israel from the standard prayer book, that didn't pass, but certainly shows how toxic some of the BDSers truly are.<br />As for the destiny of PCUSA, if the vote isn't reversed at the next biennial, I'd suspect that the pro-BDSers will be left with a significantly smaller membership as American sentiments remain largely pro-Israel and the normal Presbyterians will join a less infested denomination or unite en masse with a less affected protestant church.Lynne Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-11073334363004693912014-06-27T18:24:10.579+03:002014-06-27T18:24:10.579+03:00Oh, well, our hapless news media didn't make t...Oh, well, our hapless news media didn't make that clear.
