Ecumenical and Inter-Faith Advocacy for Immigrants


Bishop Kicanas moderated a panel of his ecumenical and inter-religious leader friends and colleagues with whom he shares the mission of advocating for and reaching out to the immigrants. This afternoon they all heard from the Presbyterians, Jews, Lutherans/Episcopalians/Methodists, Church of Christ, and the Jesuits. The pastor of the most conservative town and church now has a unique ministry with his congregants...there is a team who writes editorials and letters to the editor to respond to hate-filled anti immigrant sentiments that appear in the media!
We hear that it is an amazing example of interfaith dialogue and ministry.
