Methodist ministers oppose Bush library at SMU

DALLAS — Saying some Bush administration policies
conflict with church teachings, Methodist ministers
from across the nation launched an online petition
drive today urging Southern Methodist University to
abandon plans to build his presidential library.

The petition says church members believe that linking
George W. Bush's presidency with a university bearing
the Methodist name "is utterly inappropriate." Among
the petition's 18 organizers are 10 Methodist bishops,
SMU graduates and a retired professor.

"Methodists have a long history of social conscience,
so questions about the conduct of this president are
very concerning," said one of the organizers, the Rev.
Andrew J. Weaver of Brooklyn, N.Y., who graduated from
SMU's Perkins School of Theology.
