The rejection of Christian Zionism. The GA passed on consensus the update and expansion of the resolution confronting Christian Zionism approved in 2004. Through the Office of Theology, Formation and Evangelism, GA calls on the denomination to reject Christian Zionism in all its forms, acknowledge the expansion of Christian Zionism in all its forms, and issue a study document that addresses the expansion of Christian Zionism since the 2004 policy.
Christian Zionism Condemned
The Assembly decisively rejected Christian Zionism and called for a study document to be issued examining the ways that Christian Zionism has expanded since the 216th General Assembly (2004) adopted policy declaring that Christian Zionism is not consistent with the basic values of Reformed theology.
The overture adopted also calls on the PC(USA) to clarify, in liturgy and through education, the distinction between biblical Israel and the modern state of Israel, and to work with international partners who are confronting the spread of Christian Zionism in their own contexts.
