Hundreds of members at Sessions's church write formal complaint over immigration policy
The Hill ^ | 06/19/18 | Brooke Seipe

More than 600 members of the United Methodist Church signed on to a letter Monday condemning Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant parents and children at the U.S. border.

In the letter, the group of churchgoers, including clergy and church leadership, accuse Sessions of child abuse, immorality, racial discrimination and dissemination of doctrines contrary to the standards of the doctrine of the United Methodist Church.

They note in the letter that Sessions is a member of Ashland Place United Methodist Church, in Mobile, Ala.

Yeah, let's base our laws on cheap sentimentality... Biggest sob story wins. What could possibly go wrong?

“As a result of decisions made in April 2008 and August 2009, the United Methodist Church entered into full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The latter denomination allows individuals in committed homosexual relationships to serve as ministers, while the United Methodist Church requires gay clergy to remain celibate.

Despite the fact that full communion allows for the interchangeability of all ordained ministers between the two denominations, Lutheran clergy who are involved in homosexual activity are prohibited to serve in the United Methodist Church in order to uphold the integrity of United Methodist ministerial standards.

Nevertheless, the UMC has a more ambiguous policy regarding the ordination of transgender pastors and, in 2008, the Judicial Council ruled that each regional conference can determine their own policy; as a result, some conferences have ordained transgender pastors.” - Wiki

I’ve heard that Lutheran, Missouri Synod is a good one, too.

I really thought Moore would skate through by the “skin of his teeth”. He must have been a good choice, the enemy hated him that much to dig up the dirt. Anybody know what is going on with that case? Or was it only to stop him from becoming a Senator?

Wow, they didn’t even try the Christian approach of using humility, peace and self control in their plea to Sessions. They went all out ANTIFA.

Just shows this immigration change of wind was never going to be easy. The enemy is going to fight and fight with any and every tool they can.

"They are not “migrants” they are ILLEGAL."

And it's not immigration "policy", it's immigration LAW.

I'm getting real tired of the left changing meaning and using verbiage to falsely frame an issue.

But, of course, that's about all they have.
