Christian Network Implicated in Parental Kidnapping Involving Lesbian Partner(Liberty Univ)
Source: ABC News

An Amish Mennonite pastor charged with helping a woman kidnap her daughter from her lesbian partner may have had help from a network of groups with roots in the Christian and missionary world including Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, according to court documents.

The pastor, Timothy Miller, was arrested last week in Alexandria, Va. A criminal complaint filed by the FBI in a federal court in Vermont alleges that the Amish Mennonite pastor aided in the "international parental kidnapping" of Isabella Miller Jenkins, the daughter of the former lesbian couple Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins. Isabella is now 9.

-----

Bank records cited in the court documents state that Lisa Miller "received multiple payroll checks from the Lynchburg Christian Academy Payroll Account."

Lynchburg Christian Academy, renamed Liberty Christian Academy, is linked to Liberty University and was also founded by Jerry Falwell.

5. Liberty University gets more government money than PBS or Planned Parenthood.
Maybe THIS will either shut them down, or turn off the tax money spigot.

7. Janet is supposed to have custody.
Edited on Tue Apr-26-11 02:23 PM by tammywammy
Lisa refused to allow visitation (they had joint) and since she rebuked the court so many times, the courts revoked her custody and handed it over to Janet. When Lisa was to had over the child is when she absconded. Lisa was trying to use the Virginia courts to remove Janet's rights, since Virginia's a conservative state, but the courts there deferred (and rightly so) to the Vermont courts.

There's a ton of information out on the interwebs about this case.

Here's a starting point: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-6067417-504083.html
