Apologies in Order

I think its commendable that US Christian leaders have apologized for the US' entry into Iraq. 

Taking an unusual stand among U.S. Christian leaders, the United States Conference for the World Council of Churches (WCC) criticised Pres. George W. Bush's actions in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"We are citizens of a nation that has done much in these years to endanger the human family and to abuse the creation," says the statement endorsed by the most prominent Protestant Christian churches on the Council.

"Our leaders turned a deaf ear to the voices of church leaders throughout our nation and the world, entering into imperial projects that seek to dominate and control for the sake of our own national interests. Nations have been demonised and God has been enlisted in national agendas that are nothing short of idolatrous."

Note to self, look at this WCC more.  It seems like a promising venture to establish inter-faith dialogue.  Why do churches hate America? ;)

long live george bush! your churches are going to hell for everlasting punishment! i'll pray for their souls!

interestingly, my friend from grad school did/is doing an internship with them. their us office is in new york right by columbia in the interchurch center – a somewhat imposing-looking high rise building that one of my professors affectionately calls the 'god box'.
