    Thank you for posting the article. I missed it due to travel and caught up after noting the reference in your web-site-blog. Such a stance is long overdue from Evangelicals. It has been assumed too long that all Evangelicals support every action undertaken by Israel in the Middle East. Such a stance, however, requires ignoring current events and makes good and decent believers appear to have split-personalities. The balance in the letter, however, also points to the necessity of the Palestinians having a viable and just future in the region of the world they also call home. It was a welcome experience to see believers wishing God's blessing for all inhabitants of the Middle East.

    Bob, thanks for having the insight and courage to sign the letter addressed to President Bush. This whole issue of Christian Zionism has deeply troubled me for some time. On a more personal note, in the late 90's my wife and I visited Israel and meet with different missionaries in both Israel and Jordan. We were given a totally new perspective on how the Arabs and Arab Christians, in particular, are treated in Israel. Fo much too long we have forgotten our brothers and sisters in Christ in Middle East and have given the Israeli government a pass.

    May the Name of God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world be glorified through this effort to bring healing and reconcilation. For the Kingdom.
