Two weeks ago a handful of us leafletted at the 4th Presbyterian Church in Chicago on Sunday morning (during all 3 of their masses). The leaflet included a letter asking them to consider their Jewish neighbors and included a quotation from Jimmy Carter (when he signed into law the anti-Arab Boycott law of 1977) about how boycotting Israel is wrong. The leaflet also included a release from the Presbyterians' own website and two commentaries (including Prager's), and asked for an opportunity to present the case against the boycott in a forum. We gave away about 350 leaflets.
To date we have heard nothing.
However, the response of the congregants was interesting. There were quite a few who said that they had not known about the Presbyterian vote, and would not have believed it until we showed them the church's own release. One woman said that she received daily reports about the general assembly, and that there was no inkling of an anti-Israel resolution until after it was passed.
We're not sure of our next step, and would appreciate any suggestions.

Does anyone know a participant in the Presbyterian pension plan? Perhaps a class action suit on behalf of the victims of this policy would be the way to go (since I know how much FReepers love lawyers, I'm sure I'll get a lot of positive responses to this one).
