Radical Hospitality: Responding to the Issue of Immigration

In February 2014, in response to a request by delegates at the Phoenix 2013 denominational convention, the Mennonite Church USA Executive Board released a revised Churchwide Statement on Immigration, which names the complexities of today’s immigration experience and calls congregations to faithfully respond, working toward socially just reform.

Specifically, “the Executive Board calls congregations and area conferences to engage at whatever level possible in at least one educational action and one ministry action in the next two years (2014–2016).” This Radical Hospitality Bible study guide is one of many rich resources that are available to support congregations and conferences in responding to this call.

Radical Hospitality was intentionally designed to be flexible, adaptable and accessible. Our prayer is that you would use this resource in a way that best supports whoever will be participating. It is ideal for adult Sunday school classes, a weekend adult Bible school, small groups/fellowship groups, and community outreach groups … get creative!
