Sanctuary is: • A public declaration that “walking alongside immigrants and refugees is a matter of faith” • A broad and complicated response to a broken immigration system • A way to protect those most vulnerable to the sharp edges of our broken immigration system • A strategy for individuals and congregations to love their immigrant neighbors with concrete, specific actions
Sanctuary is not: • Widely or well-understood • Agreed to by all ELCA congregations, pastors, and members • A way to immunize undocumented immigrants from immigration law • A permanent solution to a complex and broken system
