Biblical morals and Jesus are clear in their call, over and over again, to care for the poor and the sojourner. Therefore our denomination has opposed the current administration policies and new budget bill that target the poor and immigrants.
At Monday's Immigration Solidarity Vigil in Nashua, we read a statement from Church & Society:
"At the center of Christian faithfulness to Scripture is the call we have been given to love and welcome the sojourner. Therefore, United Methodist Churches call on everyone to advocate for just immigration reform; and hold elected leaders accountable for policies that do not honor human dignity and reflect God's boundless love.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, who welcomed the stranger and commanded us to do likewise, we cannot remain silent in the face of actions that violate the gospel call to justice and mercy."
So let's continue to stand in solidarity with our immigrant siblings, working to build a society where all are truly welcomed, valued, and free. (The Capitol Hill switchboard number is 202.224.3121).
