Description

There are an estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. How do we respond faithfully to that reality? We will talk about the root causes of the immigration crisis, the proposed policy solutions and their potential impact. We will also introduce participants to the range of creative ways that Christians across the country are responding to the mission needs and opportunities of the immigration dilemma, including the new sanctuary movement.
