Rev. Andy Oliver (he/him/his), pastor of Allendale United Methodist Church in St Petersburg, Florida, lights a candle wrapped in barbed wire in honor of alleged wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia—during his EASTER church service."We continue to pray for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the Supreme Court has ordered must be returned home after our government unlawfully kidnapped him.""Scripture tells us that on Good Friday, Jesus promised a thief hanging beside him that they would be together in paradise. And while we don't expect paradise from our government, we do expect due process. While we do not need our leaders to emulate the grace of Jesus, we yearn for any official who wears a cross to speak words that mirror Jesus's mercy and compassion—instead of Pontius Pilate's fear and contemptment [sic].""Jesus declared 'The truth will set you free.' So God, make every government official tell the truth—that these detention centers have more in common with concentration camps than with prisons." (From Breitbart)
