ECC Stance on Immigration
It is Lent, a time of repentance, fasting and reflection. We heed the call of Isaiah who proclaimed that true fasting is to loose the chains of injustice, break every yoke, feed the hungry, provide shelter to the wanderer, and clothe the naked. “Then your light will break forth like the dawn.”
It is that light we are called to be in these difficult times.
All of us are witnessing in America today unprecedented attacks on immigrants, refugees and people of color through the blatant disregard of the rule of law. Accusations of illegal activity have been directed at Protestant, Catholic and Jewish organizations who, here and abroad, are living out their faith in works of mercy.
We are not surprised.
