The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) is hosting dinners to express appreciation for the brave men and women in law enforcement. Yet after the BGEA’s president, Franklin Graham, invited police in Seattle, Wash., to attend one of the free dinners at a four-star hotel, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) issued a condemnation of Graham and his organization due to their support for biblical Christianity. Leftists and antifa in Seattle have demonized police, but it seems evangelical Christians are the lowest of the low — even the police want nothing to do with them.
Earlier this month, SPD Chief Adrian Diaz revoked a department-wide email invitation to the BGEA’s Seattle-area law enforcement appreciation dinner on May 11, citing concerns about alienating “our community’s LGBTQ members.”
“An internal email was shared this week informing SPD employees of a free appreciation dinner hosted by the Rev. Franklin Graham. Based on Graham’s history and affiliations, the email has raised concerns that the SPD may not be committed to the equity of our community’s LGBTQ members,” Diaz shared in a message on the police blotter.

“I want to make clear the Department fully supports the equity and just treatment of all people. The SPD did not sponsor this event and is not connected in any way to its hosts. Today I sent a department-wide email to rescind the invitation because its hosts do not share the inclusive values of the SPD,” the police chief concluded.....

When a society is so thoroughly displaying the sign given for depraved minds as set forth in Romans 1:18-32 you can be sure that the knowledge of the Lord is not welcome in much of it.
The police of Seattle at any rate.
John 15:18 (Jesus speaking) “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Look it isn’t the everyday Cop who did this it is the political pussies at the top ... it;’s all political ... I have family in the SPD who would have been very appreciative of attending but God said Good would be bad and bad would be good ... screw Seattle politicians
I doubt that the rank and file cops had any say in this matter.
Amen.
Many are not our friends.
Your language is as bad as the leftist websites
Just from reading the excerpt, it was not the Seattle Police who ‘spit in the face of Franklin Graham’ but rather the Seattle Police Chief. He obviously dances to the tune that the city government calls and I think it obvious what the Seattle City government apparently values.
After the Chief’s statement I doubt if any employee of the SPD would dare to accept the invitation.

Luke 6:22 (Jesus speaking) “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.
Franklin should know not to CAST PEARLS BEFORE SWINE.
The perverted leadership does not necessarily represent the group. I had an assignment where I needed to tolerate being outranked by a Genesis 19 type for a year. Unless they REPENT, they have no hope.

You are correct. Too many lily-livered people in the pews are afraid to stand up for what is right. Pastors are also to blame.
It is rare to hear a sermon denouncing the evil going on in our nation. Rare.
People like to sit back and have a “render under to Caesar what is Caesars” mentality.
I, along with many other conservatives, live in Seattle. And no I cannot leave as my 2 children live here (mother has custody) Should I be wiped out?
I fear persecution of Christians is not far off. The hatred of God is getting more and more intense. Historically this is nothing new. America was so blessed to have freedom of religion. I think we took it for granted since we were born with this freedom, as were our parents, grandparents etc.
It is persecution that brought the Pilgrims and others like them to settle here. Now.....there is nowhere to escape to if needs be.
This is what you get when you hire only Lefties: contempt and hate. Lesson to be learned, we can no longer trust govt officials. We must assume they are all compromised to the Lefty agenda.
To prove you point, look no futher than the nearest lock down state. when they ease up on restrictions, churches are never reopened.
