Statement #1:
IRD Questions Church Mandate Against Tax Cuts
Statement #2:
Church Leaders and
Tax Collectors
These two statements by
the Institute on Religion and Democracy, an ecumenical
Christian organization, show how our United Methodist
Church is hurt by partisan politics. The
national United Methodist Board of Church and Society,
like its Iowa counterpart, has been captured by one
political faction that uses the Church to promote a
political agenda.
Methodist Laity
Reform Movement believes
taxes and tax cuts are issues on which there is no
clear Christian position; sincere Christians can and
do honestly disagree; and our Church should not take
either side.
Methodist Laity
Reform Movement does
not support or oppose tax cuts or any
political party. We do not lobby.
We work to stop our Church from hiring
lobbyists — in Washington and in Des Moines. |
