THREAD There is sudden, serious pushback from religious leaders to Trump's immigration policies, especially separating families, denying Dreamers a path to legalization and refusing asylum to victims of gang violence and domestic abuse. First up, US Catholic Bishops:
Southern Baptist Convention passed this: RESOLVED, That we desire to see immigration reform include an emphasis on securing our borders and providing a pathway to legal status with appropriate restitutionary measures, maintaining the priority of family unity... #SBCAM18

Hey SBC, if you show special attention to the MAGA men and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to immigrants, minorities, and women, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? #sbc18
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the SBC is giving VP Mike Pence a platform during the annual meeting tomorrow at 11:00. I think Jesus’ brother would have something to say about that.
Let’s not sugarcoat this. Wisdom and charity would call us to listen to PoC like @KyleJamesHoward who experience this as “spiritual abuse at the conventional level.” Lord help us if we are so deaf or calloused that we can’t or won’t hear those voices.
