I Was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me

Greed over available spaces and resources clouds our immigration conversations. This worship service is structured as a reflective meditation on migration. It seeks to give space to consider our own immigrant status (on two levels: that our Christian citizenship is elsewhere, and many of our own ancestors come from outside the borders of the U.S.), and to listen to recent immigrants who are significantly affected by the policies being debated. Biblical teachings on hospitality are clear, from the Torah through the Epistles.
