Presbyterian Church (USA) considers denouncing Caterpiller Inc. because it sells bulldozers to Israel

“The divestment resolutions are expected to provoke contentious debate among the biannual assembly’s nearly 700 delegates — as are other overtures that condemn Israeli policy toward Palestinians, seek to change ordination standards to allow noncelibate gay and lesbian clergy, and ask for permission to start officiating at same-sex marriages.” The proposal is also quite unpopular in Peoria, IL where Caterpillar is headquartered.
