The MCNP Racial Justice Team is announcing a new resource for congregations entitled, Responding to God’s Call for Mercy: A Bible Study on Immigration. This Bible Study is commended to you by the Provincial Elders’ Conference of the Moravian Church Northern Province, and the Racial Justice Team.
This five-session Bible Study on immigration includes relevant scriptural texts and interpretative reflections, statements from the Moravian Covenant for Christian Living (MCCL), and applicable MCNP Synod resolutions. There are stories from immigrants and refugees for each session, along with tangible and practical information on immigration. This study provides a faithful overview of immigration challenges and blessings, suggestions for ways to care for immigrant and refugee neighbors, and resources for further study.
There is a Leader’s Guide with additional information for each session. There is also an accompanying Journal that may be downloaded and copied for personal use.
Responding to God’s Call for Mercy: A Bible Study on Immigration is provided by the Racial Justice Team (RJT) to help guide congregations in this time when many people are feeling anxious and fearful. It is part of the RJT’s commitment to continue to provide resources for caring for immigrant and refugee neighbors in these difficult and uncertain times. In addition, the Racial Justice Team believes that the Church has an important perspective to add as our nations seek to develop a comprehensive solution to our immigration challenges – a solution that respects the diversity and worth of all people, while keeping our borders safe.
Please contact the Rev. Sue Koenig, Director of Racial Justice and Healing, at [email protected] for additional information or assistance with offering the study in your congregation.
