Resources for the Strangers Among Us
 |
As Christians, our faith is shaped by the biblical story of people whom God led into foreign countries to escape oppression. Exodus tells us the story of the ancient Israelites escaping slavery in the land of Egypt and wandering in the wilderness without a home. In Leviticus 19:33-34, God commands that we remember this sojourn as part of our own story of faith: “When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”
The Episcopal Church has provided many resources for us to support and protect immigrants in our country, who are some of the most vulnerable among us. Click here to access those resources and to read the full statement from The Most Rev. Sean Rowe, Presiding Bishop and Julia Ayala Harris, President of the House of Deputies on recent Presidential Executive Orders. We must be prepared to protect our friends and neighbors as we are called to do by Jesus when he says, “‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.’” Matthew 25:40 Please educate yourself about local resources in order to be an advocate to the lease among us: Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, 844/724-3737 Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (legal assistance), 800/445-5771.
