Episcopalians Scuttle Anti-Israel Divestment

The Episcopal Church appears unlikely to follow in the footsteps of the United Church of Christ and the Presbyterian Church (USA) in adopting a policy of divestment from companies that do business with Israel. On the same day that the Mennonite Church USA voted to delay consideration on a divestment proposal for another two years, Bishops in the Episcopal Church meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah have rejected similar resolutions.
