Hundreds of United Methodist clergy bring church charges against Jeff Sessions

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) -
According to the United Methodist News Service, more than 600 United Methodist Church clergy and laity say they are bringing church law charges against U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions related to the "zero tolerance" policy and resulting separation of families along the Mexico border.
In a complaint Monday, the group from the UMC accused Sessions of child abuse, immorality, racial discrimination and dissemination of doctrines contrary to the standards of the doctrine of the United Methodist Church.
"However, an authority on church history and polity said he’s unaware of a complaint against a lay person ever moving past the district level," the United Methodist News Service stated.
According to the Associated Press, nearly 2,000 children have been taken from their parents since Sessions announced the zero tolerance policy, which directs Homeland Security officials to refer all cases of illegal entry into the United States for prosecution.
The church complaint says Sessions, who is a member of Ashland Methodist Church in Mobile and active participant at Clarendon UMC in Arlington, VA, has a unique combination of social and political power that calls for "some degree of accountability."

Keep locking them up, Jeff.

Proof positive that the evil that lurks inside liberals have permeated churches.
Also, wonder why they didn't think this was so evil two years ago.

Churches have made billions of dollars from the federal government processing these illegal immigrants through the years.

Suing to stop the AG from following the law? Bold move there, Cotton.
Not like he won’t recuse himself from the case anyway.

That's about how many members remain with their organization. That Church is a shell of itself and for these exact reasons. More worried about the changing political winds, and not the word of God. They have soften their stance on abortion, Gay marriage etc. They don't know what they believe anymore. SAD!

Trump should tweet that he's going to have the IRS investigate their tax free status and this goes away in 140 characters.

And the Methodist Church will continue to lose members...

Jeff is welcome to join a Southern Baptist Church. We're autonomous, so he doesn't have to worry about this faux-religious garbage.

Fixed it for them. What percentage of those children being victims of child trafficking is acceptable to end this policy?

So the "church" that allows homosexuals to be clergy, that allows women to be clergy, in violation of Scripture, is bringing church charges against a guy for doing Government work.
Call me when I give a rats arse.

I was running through midtown Atlanta yesterday and St Mark United Methodist Church had “Shame on you Jeff Sessions” on their billboard

Lol. You can't sue someone for following the law.
At least now we know where all the pedophiles are, the United Methodist Church. They are pissed that sessions is holding up their fresh meat.

Where were these oxygen thieves when obama had the children in cages? Before you go crazy I am 60 years old and have been a Methodist my life so far.

The UMC has been in gross error for a long, long time. They need to repent of their sins and turn back to Christ.
I attended a UMC church for a few years a long time ago and they actually had a (positive) Sunday school class on Bishop Spong.
