The move, which has drawn widespread criticism, including from stalwart Israel ally the United States, is seen as punishment for the United Nations General Assembly vote. A US State Department official says both the vote and the settlement expansion are counterproductive to reaching a peace settlement and a two-state solution.

This Week's Highlights: Indomitable Sydney? Why neither the critics nor the fans of Sydney Anglicanism get it

News Video Audio Twitter abc.net.au/religion This week's highlights Power over life and death: The amorality of modern medicine ABC Religion and Ethics - 27 Nov 2012 Since we have come to believe that life comes from nowhere, is headed nowhere and has no particular purpose, we are reduced to little more than corpses figuring out when to embrace death. More The fear of others has corrupted the Australian soul ABC Religion and Ethics - 27 Nov 2012 Somehow, we've become comfortable with treating vulnerable "others" as we would never want to be treated. Measured against the Golden Rule, it points to a neglected, enfeebled, imperilled Australian soul. More A new Christendom: Can Christianity breathe life into modernity? ABC Religion and Ethics - 27 Nov 2012 Modernity, by God's grace, may yet be the site in which a new Christendom can emerge, one in which the reign of God emerges side-by-side with the full dignity and flourishing of man. More The triumph of the radicals: Women bishops and the Church of England ABC Religion and Ethics - 27 Nov 2012 The General Synod decision on women bishops reveals that the Church of England has been unable to find a way to tolerate high levels of diversity within its membership. It has been held hostage by the radical fringe.

ABC Radio National | Saturday 1 December 2012 5.00pm Presented by David Rutledge Here's a model for moral inquiry: Polish-Australians of Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds get together to scrutinise the events in Poland of the Second World War, which led to the annihilation of ninety per cent of Poland's 3.3 million strong Jewish population. Think of almost any contemporary issue that troubles you, and you will find direction in this discussion. Producer: Margaret Coffey Repeated Wednesdays at 1.00pm  More For The God Who Sings - Summer's Advent ABC Classic FM | Sunday 2 December 2012 10.30pm Presented by Stephen Watkins As the fig tree knows when summer's near, awake! Bach's two magical cantatas Nun Komm, de Heiden Heiland (Come now, Saviour) meet a thrilling Advent at St Paul's.  More Religion and Ethics Report - Religious turmoil in Syria and Lebanon ABC Radio National | Wednesday 28 November 2012 5.30pm Presented by Andrew West Could the religious turmoil that is currently roiling Syria spill over into Lebanon? Dr Mike Bassous, general secretary of the Bible Society of Lebanon, says that Lebanon has struck a delicate political and religious balance between Christians, Sunni Muslims, Shiite Muslims and Druze, but this could be in jeopardy as thousands of refugees fleeing the violence in Syria pour across the border. And Professor Ruth Powell, director of the National Church Life Survey, gives an overview of the results of the latest survey, which finds that churchgoers are older, well educated and overwhelmingly female - and that the sense of belonging outweighs belief. Repeated Thursdays at 5:30am  More Sunday Nights - The Issue, The Interview and The Goodlife ABC Local Radio Across Australia | Sunday 2 December 2012 10.05 pm Presented by Noel Debien Conversations on important issues concerning religion, spirituality, ethics and values.  More The Rhythm Divine - The Big Music ABC Radio National | Sunday 2 December 2012 6.00am Presented by Geoff Wood The spiritual community of Findhorn in Scotland was founded 50 years ago, bringing together spiritual seekers and eco-activists from all around the world. To mark the occasion we hear songs from Mike Scott, founder of UK band The Waterboys, who has lived and recorded at Findhorn, along with music for Advent from U2, and the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, and a new album Folila for the celebrated blind Sufi singers from Mali, Amadou & Mariam. Repeated Mondays at 1.00am.  More The Spirit of Things - My Spiritual Diary: Ven. Freeman Trebilcock ABC Radio National | Sunday 2 December 2012 6.05pm Presented by Rachael Kohn In his early 20s, Freeman Trebilcock is a young Buddhist monk who thinks actions speak louder than words, which is why he is often very busy. Recently on the road with the visiting Nepalese singing nun, Ani Choying Drolma, the organising demands of the tour tested Freeman's Buddhist practice to the limit. Keeping a Spiritual Diary was a grounding experience, adding a further dimension to Freeman's Buddhist practice that attempts to bring a calm self awareness and compassion to a society that can be overwhelmingly materialist and selfish.
