Consistent with United Methodist official stance, Great Plains UMC Bishop Scott Jones supports the Presidents executive action on immigration... ===================================== Lincoln Administrative Relief - Bishop Scott Jones from Nebraska Appleseed 3 hours ago / via iMovie Reverend Scott J. Jones, Bishop of the Great Plains United Methodist Conference, which includes Nebraska, said our Nebraska and American values call for us to be kind to those who are in need and welcome people who will enhance our country. “As Bishop of the United Methodist Church in Nebraska, I stand with other Christian leaders who welcome immigration reform and advocate for it. It’s the moral thing to do,” Rev. Jones said. “I welcome President Obama’s executive action. I think it’s a good step, and yet I want to call attention to the fact it is so, so temporary. It might be changed under a future president. It doesn’t really fix it because there are millions who are not going to be affected by this action. We call upon the Members of Congress to take the steps to bring about immigration reform in a legal and more-permanent way.” vimeo/112735556
