WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Rev. Rob Schenck, president of the National Clergy Council in Washington, DC, released this statement today on the comments of the Reverend Pat Robertson regarding Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez:
"I have always held Pat Robertson in the highest esteem, but his remarks today about Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez were at best indiscreet and probably crossed a serious moral and ethical line. Reverend Robertson must immediately apologize, retract his statement and clarify what the Bible and Christianity teaches about the permissibility of taking human life outside of law."
Reverend Schenck, a minister in the Evangelical Church Alliance, has in the past worked closely with Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, including hosting Mr. Robertson for major events and appearing on his 700 Club Broadcast. He was also a paid consultant to the American Center for Law and Justice, Robertson's legal arm.
