More than 900 churches in the United States participated in a Christian Zionist organization's event honoring Israel.
CUFI Sunday, sponsored by Christians United For Israel, was incorporated into the regular Sunday church service. Although varying from church to church, the service generally included a sermon about the Jewish state and a request to sign the group's "Israel Pledge." The pledge states that the Jewish people "have a right to live in their ancient land of Israel" and that Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorism. Churches from all 50 states, and a total of 1,100 churches in 49 countries, participated in the event, according to CUFI.
