Our bishop congratulates Abbas

From A Conservative Lutheran:

Mark Hanson, presiding bishop of the ELCA and president of the Lutheran World Federation, recently met with Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority (see the ELCA news service article at http://www.elca.org/news/releases.asp?a=3203 for a reporting of the meeting). At that meeting, “Hanson congratulated Abbas on the withdrawal [Israelis from Gaza] and noted that ‘much has changed and much remains.’”

And, of course, as you have read a little about in this blog, the Palestinians then proceeded to sack Gaza.
