Immigration has grown into one of our most contentious political and moral issues. News coverage rarely explores how Christian communions have addressed the issue, and there’s a lack of understanding within churches as well. This presentation will walk through immigration as a theme that runs throughout the Bible, and we’ll explore how Christians may reflect upon that testimony.
