包括长老会、布什所属的卫理公会、浸礼会甚至主流福音派都表达了反战意愿。只有南浸礼派和保守福音派两支支持布什。
这让我松了一口气:正如教宗所说,这不是一场宗教间的战争。尽管华盛顿的某些变态真以为神在它们一边。
White House Letter; Religious Leaders Ask If Antiwar Call Is Heard
By ELISABETH BUMILLER (NYT) 928 words
Late Edition - Final , Section A , Page 16 , Column 1
ABSTRACT - Leaders of many mainline American churches opposed to war with Iraq are frustrated that they have not been able to see Pres Bush, one of most openly religious presidents in American history, to express their anxieties; group represents Bush's own United Methodist Church, as well as Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Baptists and mainstream evangelicals; Southern Baptist Convention, conservative evangelicals and some Pentecostal leaders are supporting Bush; Jewish leaders are divided; delegation of US religious leaders met last month in London with Prime Min Tony Blair, Bush's closest ally and an observant Christian; only antiwar religious leader who has seen Bush recently is Cardinal Pio Laghi, peace emissary sent by Pope John Paul II who is also longtime friend of Bush's father; entreaties of pope and cardinal seem not to have persuaded Bush, who later made clear that war is imminent; photo (M) George W. Bush is turning out to be one of the most openly religious presidents in American history. He prays daily. He delivers speeches and national radio broadcasts that sound like sermons. He oversees a White House full of Bible study groups. Most important, he favors lowering the barriers between church and state by giving government money to religious charities.
But in recent weeks, the leaders of the many mainline American churches opposed to a war with Iraq -- including the president's own church, the United Methodist -- have grown frustrated that they have not been able to see Mr. Bush to express their anxieties. The group represents nearly every faith and denomination, including Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Baptists and mainstream evangelicals. The Southern Baptist Convention, conservative evangelicals and some Pentecostal leaders are supporting the president, while Jewish leaders are divided.
