Depends on what you mean by "wrong". Legally? Probably not. But I don't consider it proper or particularly ethical for someone in that position to be giving that kind of political advice to their congregation. Go ahead and preach the values, but leave the political descission alone. It's one thing if an individual comes to them for dicussion and advice. But making that kind of blanket statement to a congregation is using the pulpit for something I don't think it should be used for, imo.
