How do we have a healthy dialogue about immigration?
Faith and Immigration Justice is an eight-week program by JustFaith Ministries, led by St. Margaret of Scotland parishioners Astrid Homan and Julie Hesed. This small group program facilitates holy and healthy dialogue around immigration, a highly contentious topic that is nevertheless intricately linked with our Christian faith. By fostering active listening, dialogue, and prayer, this program forms a group that is rooted in trust and compassion. Through new learning from articles, videos, and books (Welcoming the Stranger by Jenny Hwang and Matthew Soerens and The Line Becomes a River by Francisco Cantú), it lends new insights to participants’ understanding of immigration policy and those affected by it. By encouraging new spiritual practices and informed action, it cultivates an expanding community of Christians who work for immigration justice in their respective contexts.
Please join for this virtual program (Zoom) starting on Monday, June 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
