Those not particularly offensive Presbyterians
The Presbyterian Church has been threatened with terrorists attacks:
The author said churches would be set on fire while people were inside.
The author of the letter said the fires would be an act of retaliation as a church panel is considering pulling its investments with companies that support the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.
Churches, in general, I think should avoid political statements and that essentially what the investment pullout represents. However, it’s not a good reason to threaten to burn them down.

“Churches, in general, I think should avoid political statements ”
If you mean practiing personal restraint, i am all for that.
If you mean telling churches what they can and cannot say, i am against that (for example the present tax code with says that churches are non-profit and cannot endorse a certian canidate)
