Sabeel (Arabic 'the way' and also 'a channel' or 'spring') Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center is a Christian liberation theology organization based in Jerusalem. It was founded by Palestinian Anglican priest, Rev. Naim Ateek, the former Canon of St. George’s Cathedral in Jerusalem. An official partner of the Presbyterian Church USA,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Presbyterian Church (USA) )〕 Sabeel has Friends of Sabeel chapters in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Australia. According to its official website, Sabeel "strives to develop a spirituality based on love, justice, peace, nonviolence, liberation and reconciliation for the different national and faith communities." In particular, the group aims to "promote a more accurate international awareness regarding the identity, presence and witness of Palestinian Christians as well as their contemporary concerns."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center )〕 Sabeel, which advocates "morally responsible investment,"〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center )〕 has been described by its critics as promoting an anti-Israel agenda, including divestment from Israel. It has also been accused of using antisemitic rhetoric.〔 *Shelley Neese. ("Palestinian Liberation Theology" ), ''FrontPage Magazine'', April 20, 2007. *Dina Applebaum.

Toll, the Chair of Friends of Sabeel—North America (), denies those allegations, writing that "the state of Israel is not above criticism and needs to be challenged when its policies are wrong. And its policy of occupation is wrong." Toll also says that Sabeel "consistently condemns anti-Semitism in all its ugly forms." == Political Vision == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
