   "We are sending a visible signal to those in power that we do not believe
   the negotiations over the debt ceiling and budget can be resolved on the
   backs of poor people." -- Jim Winkler, top executive of the United Methodist
   Board of Church and Society.

2 church leaders arrested in protest

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) -- Two United Methodist faith leaders were among a group
   of 11 arrested July 28 in the U.S. Capitol as they refused to stop public
   prayers asking the Obama administration and Congress not to balance the
   budget on the backs of the poor. Jim Winkler, top executive for the United
   Methodist Board of Church and Society, the denomination's social action
   agency, and the Rev. Bob Edgar, a United Methodist elder and president of
   Common Cause, a national advocacy group, were among 11 faith leaders
   arrested in the rotunda of the Capitol in a "faithful act of civil
   disobedience."
