(IsraelNN.com) Anglican Friends of Israel has published an article detailing anti-Israel and anti-Semitic statements and positions taken by the Church in Wales (C-i-W).
The organization cites the following examples of the Church of Wales’ negative stance towards Israel and the Jews:
1. Archbishop Barry Morgan’s statement after Yasser Arafat died, to the effect that he would remember the arch-terrorist “for his perseverance and resolve” in the face of so many challenges. Morgan said he prayed “that in death, Yasser Arafat will find that peace which only G-d can give and which was denied him in life."
2. Canon Naim Ateek of Sabeel Centre has had frequent input in the Church. “Ateek revived the accusation of deicide against the Jewish state,” the Anglican organization wrote, “likening Israelis to 'Herods' in his 2000 Christmas message and Palestinians to the crucified [Jesus] dying at the hands of the Jewish state at Easter 2001.”
3. Church in Wales policies do not distinguish between Palestinian attacks on Israeli citizens and Israel’s use of force to defend them, the Anglican report states, and refer to both as “revenge violence.”
4. Although Archbishop Morgan himself collected up copies of the C-i-W Welsh language magazine Y Llan which contained an offensive cartoon against Muhammed, and went on TV to apologize to Welsh Muslims, no such apologies were forthcoming when Y Llan ran an article in which a fictitious Jewish contemporary of Jesus opined that none of his disciples were of any use except Judas.
5. The phrase "the Jews are cowards" was allowed to remain on the C-i-W Jubilee Fund website for a year in 2002-3, despite numerous complaints - including Archbishop Rowan Williams' description of the comments as "deplorable" and 'inflammatory language."
6. A series of short inspirational films produced by St. David’s Diocese last year was filmed in Israel and Wales – yet the word “Israel” appears only once, and neither the Law nor the Prophets nor Jesus or his disciples are identified as Jewish. In addition, no Jews contribute or are interviewed, while only a Palestinian Anglican is described as ‘indigenous' and there are frequent clips of Arab Israelis and Palestinians. “It is as though there are no Jews in today's Holy Land,” the Anglican report states.
7. In his 2009 Christmas message, Dominic Walker, Bishop of Monmouth, wrote that 'God so loved the world that he sent Jesus to be born in Palestine' – not mentioning that Jesus was a Jew or that he was born in the Jewish Holy Land that was renamed by the conquering Romans for the Jews’ enemies more than 100 years after Jesus was born.
Formerly "Anglicans for Israel," the organization was formed in 2005 for the purposes of supporting the people of Israel, helping secure defensible borders for Israel, and promoting bonds of fellowship and interfaith understanding between Anglicans and the Jewish people. Other goals can be seen on its website.
