The Jordanian Government without explanation jailed and then deported, on 6 November, an American pastor who has lived there for 16 years.
Jody Miller, pastor of Grace Church in Amman, was deported, while his wife was left in Jordan. Miller was called in to Jordan’s General Intelligence Department (GID), for an interview. No interview took place. He sat for several hours, until officials came, handcuffed and blindfolded him and took him to a jail cell. Two days later he was deported from Jordan at his own expense.
Grace Church has provided humanitarian aid for the flood of Iraqi and Syrian refugees fleeing the Islamic State.
