Priest Botrus Zaour, Spiritual Leader of the National Anglican Church in
Damascus has underlined the Arab countries' appreciation over the American
Presbyterian Church's decision to boycott the American establishments that
deal with Israel.
During a meeting with a delegation from the American Presbyterian Church
(APC) Tuesday, Zaour praised the Church's strong stance against Israeli
occupation and its inhuman practices against the Palestinian people,
pointing out to the Church's great interest in the Arab just issues.
For his part, Chairman of the Consultative Committee for Political and
Social work in the APC Priest Harber, explained reasons for boycotting
American establishments that deal with Israel, asserting that Israel is
oppressing the Palestinians.
He also pointed out that such a step would encourage other American churches
to compel Israel to change its aggressive policies against the Palestinian
people.
He praised religious coexistence in Syria the cradle of civilizations and
religions.
