Notes: "We were most disappointed to read the headline of a recent article that appeared on anglicanjournal.com which read, 'Don’t push us: Meetings with MPs on Israel-Palestine disappoint church leaders'. We have noticed that this headline has since been updated and appreciate that it has been changed to '"Moral imperative' to speak out on Israel-Palestine, church leaders say'. We felt further disappointment in the way the second half of the article turned from coverage of the church leaders’ visits and our evening panel discussion to an interview with Richard Marceau, of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. The article included comments on the panel discussion from only one person, in what is a very complex situation. It also did not help further dialogue in any way, including Canadian Jewish-Christian dialogue, as there was no opportunity offered to the church leaders to respond in the article to Marceau’s comments".
