Methodist Church Rejects Israel Divestment, Withdraws From Anti-Israel Coalition [View all]
The United Methodist Church (UMC) voted down four resolutions that called on the Church to divest from companies doing business with Israel.
At its May 10-20 General Conference in Portland, Ore., the UMC also voted—478 in favor and 318 against—to withdraw its membership, financial support, and staff participation from the “U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation,” a coalition encouraging boycotts of Israel.
