"Baptists in Puerto Rico have withdrawn support for Franklin Graham’s Feb. 10-12 Festival of Hope evangelistic rally in San Juan in protest of the evangelist’s endorsement of anti-immigration policies espoused by President Donald Trump.
The executive minister and the president of the Baptist Churches of Puerto Rico issued a statement Feb. 4 saying Graham’s endorsement of Trump’s policies “are for us contrary to the values of the Kingdom.”
“The Baptist Churches of Puerto Rico historically affirms that our standard of faith and conduct is the Bible,” Executive Minister Roberto Dieppa-Báez and President Margarita Ramirez said in the statement written in Spanish.
“From the Old Testament to the New Testament, God continually calls us to justice, to love, peace and mercy and, above all, to accompany the marginalized, foreigners, widows and orphans,” they said according to an Internet translation.
The Baptist leaders said Trump’s immigration policies “attack the life of our neighbor, and Jesus has always called us to love even enemies and to be our brother’s keeper.”
The release said the Baptist Churches of Puerto Rico board of directors decided to withdraw their support for the event — being held at the same stadium where Graham’s father, Billy Graham, preached to more than 175,000 people during the San Juan Global Mission in 1995 — “for reasons of conscience.”
