Views and Opinions
Stephen Sizer is a conservative evangelical and has aligned with a number of related organisations. He is a member of Reform (Anglican), Anglican Mainstream, and the Church Society. He has endorsed the Jerusalem Declaration issued by the Global Anglican Future Conference and has joined the resulting Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans. He supports the Third Province Movement.
In 2004, Sizer adapted his PhD thesis into a book, Christian Zionism - Road Map to Armageddon?. He claims that Christian Zionism infused with the neoconservative political ideology has led millions of Christians astray and helped to tip the world on its side heavy with military artillery.
Sizer argues that Christian Zionism has no biblical foundation or historical precedent. He writes that his motivation lies in the conviction that ignoring or stereotyping Palestinian Christians is a contradiction of faith and immoral before God. He suggests that it is irresponsible to believe that God will bless Christians materially if they support the largely secular State of Israel."
Sizer has shared a platform with Neturei Karta, a radically anti-Zionist Jewish organisation apart from mainstream Judaism which has allegedly condoned Palestinian political violence against Israelis.
