Disciples assembly opposes Iraq war: Rejects torture too
After keeping a collective silence in 2003 and 2005, the majority of delegates to this year’s biennial General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) expressed moral opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
“It is high time this church got off its duff and spoke the truth regarding this war,” said delegate Tom Plumbley, pastor of the First Christian Church of Fort Worth, the Texas city where the July 21-25 assembly was held.
