Caterpillars and the UMC


The Christian Century is reporting this week that The United Methodist Church may be divesting from Caterpillar Inc. because the company provides equipment to Israeli forces. Check out the whole article here: http://www.christiancentury.org/article.lasso?id=4532. Should we be on Israel's side? Should we be on anyone's side? Why does The United Methodist Church have $5 million of its $17 billion portfolio in Caterpillar Inc. in the first place? What are your thoughts?
