Jewish leaders caution against optics of apartheid analogies while interfaith groups seek balanced action. Clergy from Reform Judaism and Catholic Protestants urge careful dialogue amid tensions over a two state solution and ongoing conflict.

Campaign talk diminishes faith
The Washington Post opinion piece argues that public faith claims by presidential candidates distort religion, encouraging both Bush and Kerry to keep faith talk private. It notes media scrutiny, references religious figures like Jim Wallis, and urges a focus on actions over declarations, citing Jesus on doing the will of the Father. The essayist teaches religious studies at Santa Clara University.
