The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) approved a resolution
calling on the U.S. government to end all aid to Israel if Israel does
not stop building settlements and “enable an independent Palestinian
state." Voting at its triennial assembly in New Orleans that ended recently, the
church also sought a halt to all investment in companies that profit
from Israel’s occupation and called on the president of the United
States to recognize the State of Palestine. The ELCA has joined several other mainline Christian denominations in calling for a just and peaceful resolution to the Israel/Palestine conflict. Chuck Carlson and Tom Compton discuss this encouraging development and look at the greater context of it in this 16 min. podcast. Ref. ECLA's Peace Not Walls campaign.
