Policeman Prays with Flood Victims – Red Cross tells Him to Stop

• http://www.dcclothesline.com, by Onan Coca

I mean, how else could you explain their decision to condemn a police officer for having the audacity to pray with flood victims in need of help?

Last week police officer Clay Higgins stopped by the local Red Cross shelter after work to see how he could be of service to the hurting people of his community. Higgins was still in uniform and carrying a Bible as he spoke and prayed with local residents. After a few minutes on scene he was approached by a Red Cross volunteer who told him that the Red Cross had taken issue with what he was doing and wanted him to leave.

"He said the Red Cross had an issue with me being there. So I asked him what the problem was. He looked down at my Bible and he gestured and said, 'They have a problem with that.'"

Higgins then asked to see a supervisor, and that supervisor told him that he needed to leave their facility. "I was told that the Red Cross does not allow spiritual counseling in their shelters. The supervisor told me the Red Cross is not a religious-based organization and they don't allow religious interaction with the residents."
