Immigration Update

Continuing Immigration Conversation

Immigration reform is a crucial issue facing our country and our denomination. As a faith community we are uniquely positioned to serve as voices of reason and compassion on this issue.   The Office of Immigration and Refugee Services of the American Baptist Home Mission Societies has a variety of resources to assist and inform individuals and congregations regarding the issue of immigration awareness and reform.  Please review the ABHMS.org and ABC-USA.org  web-sites periodically for updates.
