Jeff Sessions charged with child abuse

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:24 pm

More than 600 United Methodist clergy and church members want to bring formal church charges against Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the Justice Department’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which has resulted in separating families who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

Sessions, a Sunday school teacher at the Ashland Place United Methodist Church in Mobile, Alabama, is accused by church members of child abuse, immorality, racial discrimination and “dissemination of doctrines contrary to the established standards of doctrines” of the United Methodist Church.

“While other individuals and areas of the federal government are implicated in each of these examples, Mr. Sessions—as a long-term United Methodist in a tremendously powerful, public position—is particularly accountable to us, his church,” the letter read. “As his denomination, we have an ethical obligation to speak boldly when one of our members is engaged in causing significant harm in matters contrary to the Discipline on the global stage.”

Charged with child abuse? Really? By the Methodist Church Court?

You don't find your subject line a tad misleading?

BJuch post a misleading subject line? Whaaaaa? I'm shocked, I tell ya. I gotta say, I've about reached my eye-roll limit.
