The Contributing Editor of the liberal Christian Century magazine, James M. Wall has accused the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop of an "incredible display of ignorance" and "appalling shallowness". He also stated that she had succumbed to "blatant Israeli propaganda" in dealing with Israel's settlement obsessed, right-wing government.
Wall, former editor and publisher of the Christian Century magazine, has made more than 20 trips to the region. He excoriated Jefferts Schori over a statement she made recently in Los Angeles that Palestinians and Israelis should "eat together and listen to each other's stories".
"Martin Luther King, sitting in that Birmingham city jail, would most certainly inform these prelates that there is no debating evil. A brutal military occupation is not open to debate. It is a disturbing spectacle. The collective ignorance displayed by many of the men and women-though, thank God, not all-who govern these denominations, boggles the mind," wrote Wall.
