Speaking on the topic of the separation of families seeing sanctuary in the United States, Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham) said, “I think it’s disgraceful, it’s terrible, to see families ripped apart, and I don’t support that one bit.” [1] Graham supported Trump’s presidential bid; he is a “conservative evangelical” and not a “liberal” or a “progressive.” Fortunately, some issues still transcend our political and theological divides, and the separation of children from their parents is one of them. The executive order Trump signed appears to be on a collision course with previous judicial readings and the children already taken from their parents remain apart from them. Please continue to pray and act that God’s will might be done.
