Presbyterians and Israel

Eugene Volokh is blogging about Eugene Kontrovich's article in national review online. Basically the Eugenes are concerned that the Presbyterian Church is taking a stand against Israel but not against anybody else. You know like the Arabs in Sudan killing black Christians and selling their children into slavery. Or North Korea and China where Christian churches are being heavily persecuted because they oppose the absolute dominion of the state.

They have a point, but as a former presbyterian (Jeff the Presbyterian didn't have the same ring) I'd like to point out something myself. There are three presbyterian denominations in the US: PCUSA, PCA, and Orthodox. PCUSA is the original and went heavily liberal with the cultural revolution. They are also dying out like most of the liberal denominations. PCA is more evangelical and Orthodox is probably the most conservative and traditional. Please do not tar all presbyterians with the same brush. My PCA and OP brothers wouldn't put up with this crap.
