There has been much said about the immigration debate in our country this past couple of months. The issues around the current immigration debate are way to complex for this particular vehicle. However, within all that is going on I wanted to highlight the march sponsored by our ministerium here in Norristown. I personally think this is an issue the churches cannot afford to stay on the sidelines. We are dealing with issues of injustice, so we as Christians cannot stay on the sidelines and quietly watch the debate go on. We, as followers of Christ are called by our faith to stand with those who are being abused and speak for them especially when it is most inconvenient. This is exactly what the Ministerium chose to do on this day as we gathered on the
steps beind the courthouse to make our call for justice heard. Our protest was not in favor of those who break the law or for weaker border security. We took a stand in protest of a measure that would have us, amongst other things, require proof of legal residence from those we are helping. We are Christians are required, by our faith, to stand in the face of injustice and seek to rectify matters. I was proud to be part of that march as a concerned citizen yes. But I was especially proud of being there as a Christian speaking out for justice.
