Church Leader That Hosted Controversial Muslim Convention: “Evangelical Zionism” is “Evil”
On December 15, All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena hosted the annual convention of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, a group with Muslim Brotherhood origins and a controversial past. The question of why All Saints would collaborate with this specific group persisted. The answer came during the event when Reverend Ed Bacon listed “acts of evil” committed by Christians and included “evangelical Zionism.”
The first hint of a political objective behind this interfaith gathering came during a December 6 press conference. Salam al-Marayati, the president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), said that his organization seeks to help the U.S. act as an “honest broker” for peace in the Middle East. This is a soft way of saying that the U.S. must take a tough stand towards Israel, as evidenced by MPAC’s record of anti-Israel activism. The All Saints Episcopal Church leadership was standing with him.
During the opening session, Reverend Ed Bacon talks of his “heartbreaking” visit to the Gaza Strip in 2002, where he visited the “Red Crescent Society” and met with its leader. Presumably, he was referring to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, an anti-Israel humanitarian group that accuses Israel of “continuous targeting of civilians and their properties and hampering the access of medical personnel and ambulances to casualties.”

This so called Christian minster need to study the Bible. A book that he may believe or only clain to believe in. The is because all the land that makes up the State of Israel according the Bible,God’s Word, belongs to the Jewish people. This is because God has decleared so in His Word. For example there is Genensis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuternomy 32:48,49. Jeremiah 31:35,36. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. This land also belongs to the Jewish people by historic rights. Some examples ofthis are First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55,56. So this church minster,Bacon, by the stands he takes exposes that he is in error, worng and in darkness, Isaiah 8:20. Second Timothy 3:16.
Such a “Christian” man as Bacon is unfit to be a real Christian leader, He need to repent, study the Bible and start going by the Word of God and not just his emotions.
