PCUSA says comments in Hezbollah meeting were 'reprehensible' Controversial visit was "misguided at best"

Reeling from stinging criticism by Jewish leaders, officials of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) said that comments made by members of a church delegation meeting last month with Hezbollah leaders were “reprehensible” and the controversial visit was “misguided at best.”

The top PCUSA executives said they did not authorize the October 17 visit to a Southern Lebanon refugee camp controlled by Hezbollah, listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.
