\"\"<\/a>Dear friends,<\/p>\n

A few days ago I posted a report issued by the Presbyterian Church USA’s Middle East Committee titled, “Breaking Down The Walls<\/a>“. As could be expected the Church is now under a vicious attack from the pro-Israel lobby in the US.<\/p>\n

I urge you to read the report, if you have not already, and send a letter of support to:<\/p>\n

Rev. Dr. Ronald L. Shive, Chair
\nCommittee on Mideast Study
\nPresbyterian Church USA
\nrshive@fpcurlington.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Rev. Dr. Gradye Parsons
\nStated Clerk of the General Assembly
\nPresbyterian church USA
\nGradye.parsons@pcusa.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow
\nModerator, Presbyterian Church USA
\nbreyeschow@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Elder Linda B. Valentine
\nExecutive director of the
\nGeneral Assembly Mission Council of the PC (USA).
\nLinda.valentine@pcusa.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Lastly, bring the report to the attention of your local media. For example, by meeting with your newspaper’s editorial board, or submitting a Letter to the Editor referencing the report as you comment on their coverage of the Palestinian\/Israeli conflict. Make a call to your local talk shows and get a buzz happening around the report. People, especially churchgoers, must be shaken out of their spiritual trance on the Holy Land and act to save it.<\/p>\n

Actions, and only actions, lead to progress,<\/p>\n

Sam<\/p>\n
