The Daily Caller News ^ | 03/10/2017 | Ethan Barton

A religious-based charity has received nearly $18 million in federal grants to help refugees and immigrant children who entered the country illegally since Donald Trump was elected president..

The Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) has received nine federally-funded awards since Nov. 8, all of which came from the the Department of Health and Human Services ...

Seven of those – worth over $13 million – were awarded under the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program, and the remaining two – worth $4.5 million – were used to helped refugees.

...

LIRS ultimately raked in $60 million total for fiscal 2016 – more than any other year during Obama’s second term, and received $220 million total over his final four years in office. HHS and the State Department awarded each grant to help refugees and unaccompanied children.

I would interested in seeing the salary structure at the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service.

Would not be surprised to see 6 figure+ remuneration. Feeding at the public trough

"ELCA is your leftist Lutheran organization."

At best, the XXXA is a leftist Lufauxran organization.

Here is LIaRS's latest 2014 IRS Form 990, with the salaries and bonuses of the top executives reported on p. 8.

If they believe that Jesus was the Son of God, who died to pay for their sins, they are Christian. That they are on the opposite side of a modern political issue that Jesus wouldn’t have cared about in the slightest doesn’t make them not Christian.

I’m a man but I do help out with the house work around here.

It was just this morning when I put my own coffee cup in the dish washer.

"They help to pull their churches to the left, too—which is yet another reason that Bush’s “faith-based” initiatives to put Christianity on the federal dole were a bad idea."

It would not have been so had the congregants reject the leftward drift, which some did by voting with their feet.

Theoligical universities deconstruct/reconstruct as much as any other. Aware of how many atheists masquerade as theologians? As with Democrat leadership, the truths behind church leadership are very disturbing. Consider the number of church-goers vs. their silence on Godlessness, sodomy, the muzzie invasion, media anti-Christianity, etc. Why? Their leaders.
