National Council of Churches calls for Kavanaugh's nomination to be withdrawn

Excerpt:

The nation’s largest coalition of Christian churches on Wednesday called for the withdrawal of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court.

The National Council of Churches, which has membership from more than 40 denominations including most major Protestant and Eastern Orthodox denominations in the U.S., wrote in a statement on their website that they believe Kavanaugh has “disqualified himself from this lifetime appointment and must step aside immediately.”

The statement cited a number of reasons for the demand, including Kavanaugh’s behavior during his recent testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on sexual assault allegations against him.

“Judge Kavanaugh exhibited extreme partisan bias and disrespect towards certain members of the committee and thereby demonstrated that he possesses neither the temperament nor the character essential for a member of the highest court in our nation,” the statement read.

5. Deplorables fired up now...

11. But they aren't "true" Christians.

sarcasm

These listed above aren't considered by the "real evangelicals" as within the perfect will of God. Ask Pat Robertson. The National Council of Churches is outside the evangelical fold. They're not extremist enough.

15. Not suprised by this

The right-wing Evangelicals pay no regard to any version of Christianity other than their own. Never mind that their particular theology and understanding of scripture is perverse.

16. 100,000 U.S. Christian Churches Demand Withdrawal of Kavanaugh's Supreme Court Nomination

The National Council of Churches represents congregations across 40 denominations, including most of the major Protestant and Eastern Orthodox divisions of faith. It has a statement of creed that advances social policy, such as equal rights, worker protection, just immigration, and multilateral diplomacy.

The organization also cited an array of policy differences it believes Kavanaugh is on the wrong side of, including many progressive issues, such as climate change, voting rights, and “racial and gender justice.”
