In the spirit of witness,
In the spirit of justice
called to us by Jesus,
I want to remind us of a tool
in our belt as Christian leaders.
I challenge our denomination
to a radical and bold action
– an opportunity to get in
the wheelbarrow.
With respect to our witness
against immigrant family separation,
I challenge us and propose
that we mobilize
To extend an extravagant
welcome
To families facing imminent
ICE threats
To offer religious asylum
through our churches – this day
!
This day because Paul writes “now
is the acceptable time!”
I would invite our Church to
extend that welcome to other faith communities.
(If you don’t have immigrants
in your area, mobilize to support those that do.)
Walking with Jesus may not
always be comfortable,
but we are called to Christ’s
mission of peace
and commitment to God’s kingdom
on Earth!
Let us walk together in radical
love of God and our neighbor – all of God’s children!
And May She shine her light
upon us
To get in that wheelbarrow!
