The Presbyterian Church (USA) voted on Monday at its biennial meeting, which is ongoing in Salt Lake City, Utah, to divest from financial bonds in Israel and to denounce Christian Zionism, Religion News Service reported.
The denomination, which had 8,704 churches and 1.14 million members as of May 2023, voted to "reject Christian Zionism in all its forms" and to issue a report about the "dangers of Christian Zionism" and how "mainline Christians and those of other faiths are complicit, though unaware of connections with Christian Zionism."
"Presbyterian Church (USA) has long singled out Israel for animus, fixation, double standards and demonization. Now PCUSA has voted to divest from Israel bonds and to slam 'Christian Zionism,'" B'nai B'rith International stated.
"The denomination tragically fails to speak for all its members, for fairness and for truth," B'nai B'rith added.
A previous version of the resolution referred not to the "dangers" of Christian Zionism but to "heretical views of Christian Zionism." A prior version of the resolution also referred to the 10 Commandments as "a core requirement of Judaism," although the new version scrubbed that reference.
