Presbyterian Leader Rebukes Trump on Immigration

By Published on October 5, 2015

Donald Trump may claim to be an active member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), but one of the denomination’s highest ranking officials has hinted in a judiciously-worded open letter to the candidate that he may not be as familiar with the group’s beliefs as he claims – at least on the subject of immigration.

Rev. Gradye Parsons, stated clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), sent the letter to Trump Oct. 2, just after Trump said he would send Syrian refugees, fleeing ISIS and civil war, back to their country if he was elected president. Trump has also said he would take a hardline on immigrants from Mexico, forcing Mexico itself to build a wall to keep its citizens out of the United States.
