UK Anglicans Calls For Divestment From Israel

HeadlineSep 24, 2004

In Britain, an influential Anglican group is planning ask church leaders to impose a boycott of Israel and firms that do business there in protest of the occupation. This according to a report in the Guardian of London. The divestment campaign proposed by the Anglican Peace and Justice Network is similar to ones used to fight apartheid in South Africa. In July, the Presbyterian church in the US became the first major denomination to agree to a formal boycott of Israel.
