Church Should be a Sanctuary for All
“You are a hiding place for me, you preserve me from trouble, you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.” – Psalm 32:7 (NRSV)
I ask you to join me in prayer for migrants, undocumented families, the vulnerable, and all who are marginalized.
The reason the Church exists in the world is because of the love of Christ. That love is the center of our life values, and because of that love we always live in service and devotion to our neighbors. Because of that love, we believe that it is our mission as Christians to welcome others and work to ensure that their lives are respected and loved.
As I look at the surrounding migrant and refugee communities, I am deeply concerned about harm in our communities. Reflecting on the foundation of the Church, I urgently call on each of us to build beloved community in the name of Jesus. We need our society to protect migrants, refugees and minorities in the biblical tradition and to work together for the common good and welfare.
