Latino evangelicals call for end of capital punishment

Huffington Post - A leading group of Latino evangelicals has called for an end to state-sanctioned capital punishment, the first national association of evangelicals to do so.
In a unanimous vote Friday (March 27), the National Latino Evangelical Coalition urged its 3,000 member congregations to end capital punishment across the country. “As Christ followers, we are called to work toward justice for all,” coalition President Gabriel Salguero said. “And as Latinos, we know too well that justice is not always even-handed.”
