Centreville On Friday, Feb. 17, members from several churches including Centreville-based Wellspring United Church of Christ protested against raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted outside a church-run hypothermia shelter in Alexandria last week. Speakers included Jim Wallis of Sojourners and the Rev. Keary Kincannon, pastor of Rising Hope Mission Church which hosted the shelter. Wallis promised that Christians will not be silent and will challenge this threat to religious liberty.
