Quiet day for Church of Scotland GA
After the opening formalities yesterday today is a quiet day,
business-wise, for the GA. As far as I can tell, no new press
releases, news updates, or podcasts have been issued. I'll keep
watching. The most recent press release, issued just before GA
convened, talks about GA authorizing a full report by their Church and
Society Council on Israel and Palistine. The six key principles
of the report going into it seem fairly straight forward:
condemnation of terrorism and violence, the right of Israel to exist,
the right of the Palistinian people to self-determination, the unique
status of Jerusalem as a "thrice Holy City," condemnation of statments
by individuals or countries inconsistant with these principles, and a
call for countries and international agencies to work with the parties
to restart negotiations. The report would be presented at the
next GA
