Whereas, We are deeply troubled by the difficulties faced by
immigrants and refugees in the world today; and

Whereas, Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, teaches us to love our
neighbor as ourselves; and

Whereas, All persons have a right to live in peace and security in communities free from fear and terror; therefore

Resolved, That we will welcome and support those from other countries who seek to live and work in our midst.

Resolved, That we will work to dispel hatred, racism, and bigotry from among us and within us through education, dialog, and encounter.

Resolved, That we will struggle faithfully to be a clear voice for peace and justice in our community and in the world.
