A Comprehensive Immigration Reform

At Fuller Theological Seminary Cardinal Roger Mahony at Fuller's All-Seminary Chapel. He spoke on a comprehensive immigration reform. I have to say I do not know much about this topic myself, but the Cardinal has helped to open my eyes to this pressing issue and the Churches part in it. The Cardinal said,"the Scriptures teach us to have unrelenting compassion, even in a difficult economic time, for those seeking new hope for their lives.” He is looking at this issue through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He makes a good point that "the economy is for the people and the people are not for the economy." He stressed the value of human life and that all our welcome at God's table. He proposes a comprehensive reform that he details in his message. I put up the message for you to watch.
I am always moved to see the Church, whether Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox, seeking to "do" the mission of God/Church or as I said in my previous blog "do" new creation.
