United Methodist ministries named in House probe
Four United Methodist ministries — including the Council of Bishops — are among 215 nonprofits facing demands from a U.S. congressional committee about their work with immigrants.
U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, R-Tennessee, and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Accountability Chairman Josh Brecheen, R-Oklahoma, announced their probe on June 11.
