11-056-JB
CHICAGO (ELCA) -- The Rev. Mark S. Hanson, presiding bishop of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and 32 Jewish, Muslim and
Christian leaders, said a new peace initiative by former Israeli
government, intelligence and security officials offers a useful sign for
Middle East peace. The initiative, along with previous Middle East peace
initiatives, offers "key principles and ideas for negotiations to achieve
comprehensive Arab-Israeli-Palestinian peace," the religious leaders said
in a letter to President Barack Obama.
