From USA Today-
More than 600 United Methodist clergy
and laypeople have signed a formal denominational complaint against
fellow United Methodist Attorney General Jeff Sessions, condemning his
role in the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy of separating
children from their parents along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The
charges include child abuse, immorality, racial discrimination and
“dissemination of doctrines contrary to the standards of doctrine of the
United Methodist Church.”
The complaint was sent
Monday afternoon to two churches, one in Alabama and the other in the
Washington, D.C., suburbs, said to be affiliated with the chief lawyer
of the U.S. government.
“We, the undersigned laity
and clergy of the United Methodist Church, issue a formal complaint
against fellow United Methodist layperson Jefferson Beauregard
Sessions,” reads the letter, which was provided to Religion News
Service.
