Kansas City Immigration Seminar |
Welcoming the Stranger
Immigration is one of the most complicated issues of our time. Voices on all sides argue strongly for action and change. Christians find themselves torn between the desire to uphold laws and the call to minister to the vulnerable. The National Association of Evangelicals and Mission Adelante will present an immigration forum in Kansas City on Saturday, July 24 from 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. in which church leaders can learn about immigration from a biblical perspective and have the opportunity to ask tough questions.
M. Daniel Carroll R., author of “Christians at the Border” and distinguished professor of Old Testament at Denver Seminary, will present a biblical overview of issues related to immigration, especially relevant for all Christians who have a heart for serving the stranger in our midst. World Relief staffer and co-author of “Welcoming the Stranger: Justice, Compassion and Truth in the Immigration Debate” Jenny Hwang will present a historical and current policy perspective on immigration. They will also offer practical ways for churches to serve immigrants, including educational opportunities, service, advocacy, and evangelism.
Please note that a fee of $20 per person will be collected at the door, and child care will not be provided. Space is limited, so don’t delay to register and to spread the word to anyone whom this event may interest.
