Pastors Protest Sessions’s Religious Freedom Talk

HeadlineOct 31, 2018

In Boston, Attorney General Jeff Sessions was interrupted by two religious leaders at a Federalist Society event Monday where Sessions was speaking about religious freedom. United Methodist Pastor Will Green stood up and recited biblical verse before appealing to Sessions directly.

Pastor Will Green: “Brother Jeff, as a fellow United Methodist, I call upon you to repent, to care for those in need, to remember that when you do not care for others, you are wounding the body of Christ.”

Jeff Sessions responded to the pastor by saying, “Thank you for those remarks and attack.” A second pastor, Darrell Hamilton of the First Baptist Church in Boston, then stood up to speak, but was booed by the other attendees and quickly removed by security.
