PCUSA Divestment Revisited

Jim Berkley brought the letter below to my attention at The Berkley Blog. Many of you know that the PCUSA General Assembly voted last June to begin considering divestment in Israel because of the security wall they were building. This has led to a firestorm of protest from Jewish groups and many Presbyterians. I agree with Jim that these Presbyterians from the Presbytery of New Covenant (Houston area) have crafted a well thought out response in the form of a letter.

I am Michael W. Kruse. I live in Kansas City, MO, not far from downtown. I’m presently working on book for self-publication that I’ve tentatively titled "Work and the Gospel.” The idea is a collection of essays on work, vocation, and economy. I have worked in both businesses and in nonprofits. I have master’s degrees in sociology and in business. I just completed eight years of service, the last two years as chair, of the Presbyterian Mission Agency, of the Presbyterian Church, USA, the board that oversees the domestic and international work of the church between biennial General Assemblies. My blog, Kruse Kronicle, and my book are my tools for integrating what I've learned.
