Immigration Enforcement: A Faithful Response Resources

You are receiving this e-mail because you participated in

the Immigration Enforcement: A Faithful Response Conversation

for Rostered Ministers of the ELCA.

Thank you! Your participation in the recent Immigration Enforcement: a Faithful Response enriches all in our desire to be faithful in our interactions with others.


In that same regard PLEASE DO NOT attempt to contact any of the presenters directly: each of the presenters has responsibilities beyond the time of the presentation. As the presentation was to help you care for others, so must we provide care to those who shared their insights of faith.


If you have questions or comments about the presentation, or just want to share, please email FaithfulResponse26@gmail.com which has been established for this purpose. Your respect of this request will help allow for future workshops.


Resources from our first gathering follow.
