IMMIGRATION

Each year the United States is infused with newcomers who are viewed as a blessing by some and a curse by others. The experiences of immigrant peoples vary greatly as does the impact they are having on the landscape of this county. Over the past few years the increase in the number of immigrants to the country has had a significant impact on the communities and congregations of the ABCUSA.

Questions for Consideration:

How has immigration impacted church leadership
and community roles?
How have the neighborhoods where churches are located and where the congregants live been impacted?
Are we aware of any sociological and economic implications that have resulted from immigration matters?
Are we aware of any legal implications associated with immigration?
What opportunities exist for advocacy in the area of immigration?
What challenges exist?
How does the ABCUSA respond to issues of immigration?
