Council of churches condemns U.S.

From yesterday's Winston-Salem Journal:

A coalition of American churches sharply denounced the U.S.-led war in Iraq yesterday, accusing Washington of "raining down terror," and apologizing to other nations for "the violence, degradation and poverty our nation has sown."
The statement, issued at the largest gathering of Christian churches in nearly 10 years, also warned that the United States is pushing the world toward environmental catastrophe with a "culture of consumption" and its refusal to back international accords to battle global warming.
