Baptists withdraw support for Franklin Graham rally in Puerto Rico
https://baptistnews.com/article/baptists-withdraw-support-for-franklin-graham-rally-in-puerto-rico/#.WJznxm8rLcsBaptists in Puerto Rico have withdrawn support for Franklin Graham’s Feb. 10-12 Festival of Hope evangelistic rally in San Juan in protest of the evangelist’s endorsement of anti-immigration policies espoused by President Donald Trump.
“From the Old Testament to the New Testament, God continually calls us to justice, to love, peace and mercy and, above all, to accompany the marginalized, foreigners, widows and orphans,” they said according to an Internet translation.
The Baptist leaders said Trump’s immigration policies “attack the life of our neighbor, and Jesus has always called us to love even enemies and to be our brother’s keeper.”
It is about time Franklin the Fascist gets some push back.
