With the Presbyterian Church (USA) already under fire for its one-sided policy calling for divestment of funds in corporations that do business with Israel, another delegation from the PCUSA met recently with the leader of Southern Lebanon's Hezbollah, a reputed terrorist organization.
The meeting had a highly partisan political flavor, with the Hezbollah leader criticizing the policies of President George W. Bush and the spokesman for the Presbyterian delegation assuring his host that none of the members of the delegation had voted Democratic or supported the U.S. policies in the Mideast.
The PCUSA delegation was led by the Rev. Nuhad Tomeh, whose work as the associate general secretary of Middle East Conference of Churches in Beirut is profiled on a PCUSA Web page. Tomeh is also the regional liaison for the PCUSA for Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and the Gulf.

Don't forget the ARPs.
The Presbyterian Church USA is consistently losing members, but the headquarters in Louisville does have a lot of money from past investments. Many of their churches are in cities and in danger of closing. They have sunk so low they give pastors abortion coverage in their medical insurance.
Yes, they are losing members. And the "conservative" churches are gaining members.
In 2000, a study showed that the Presbyterian church (USA) lost 11.6 percent of its members in the decade 1990 to 2000 (and I suspect that rate is increasing).
Conversely, Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) GAINED 42.2 percent in that same time period.
Don't they see WHY?

The PCUSA has been taken over at the highest levels by pro-choice Democrats. They're hostile to Israel because of the wall they're building, and they don't like Pres. GWB. You can't talk to them just like you can't talk to Howard Dean.
I left the PCUSA and became a member of the Wesleyan denomination, which is pro-life and conservative. The PCUSA is never going to change. In fact, they'd welcome George Soros as a member.
Clifton Kirkpatrick has joined with Sen. Harry Reid. Claiming it is to "achieve our common goals," the Senate Democratic Caucus has joined hands with leaders of mainline denominations.
The Mainline Protestant church leaders do not even try to hide their bias.
Should there be any surprise in seeing a bunch of Democrat Presbyterians visiting Hezbollah to stir things up in the Mid East?

Are you a member of the PC USA?

Americans can't be that stupid.
Traitors like these must be a small minority.
If it wasnt for FR and knowing there are so many here who still love and support this great country, the future would look much more bleak to me.
I am thankful for Free Republic. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
These boobs think because they are called "Party of God" they have something in common.
