Executive Orders: Church Leaders and Christian Denominations

executive orders: In a declaration hammered out over the last month, church leaders call the orders unjust and immoral and say they run counter to the values we as people of faith hold dear to welcome the stranger and assist those most in need, according to The Waterloo Record. It is imperative that we speak out against the notion that refugees are a threat to our safety, the declaration adds. A broad network of 37 Protestant and Orthodox Christian denominations announced on Friday a campaign to mobilize its congregants some 30 million Americans in all to lobby the president and members of Congress to rescind the executive orders. They are not. The White House is expected to issue a revised order very soon. The president's Jan. 27 executive order, which he called necessary for national security, barred people from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the country for 90 days, stopped refugee admissions for 120 days and banned refugees from Syria indefinitely.
