A North Carolina pastor famous for decades of activism for progressive causes was arrested in the Capitol rotunda on Monday, less than a week after the formation of the Trump administration’s task force on anti-Christian bias at the Justice Department.
The arrest occurred Monday afternoon as Reverend William Barber and others were praying at the Capitol; earlier in the day, the reverend delivered a sermon on the Capitol steps and also delivered a Moral Monday address at the Supreme Court. First reported by Jack Jenkins of Religion News Service (RNS), photos showed Barber and others surrounded by US Capitol Police officers, including one wearing a “crime scene” vest.
