We are at two borders really. . .

Dr. Danny Carroll spoke to a group of 130 or so of us in Phoenix, AZ on January 26, 2010 at the Institutional Baptist Church on the topic of the Bible and Immigration.

We really are at two borders. One is a border between two countries. Another is a border between right and wrong. How will we treat other people, our neighbors? The Bible has some things to say about this. Those who identify as followers of Jesus may want to understand what the Bible has to say about immigration. And, we may want to understand how the biblical narrative is populated by immigrants.

Today, I see that the video of this event is to be released on March 2, 2010. I am glad to recommend it to you from Urban Entry. Their people were there all day filming--I am not sure what all will be on the video. If it is just the lecture by Dr. Carroll, it will be well worth the $20. All the better if it includes other parts of our day of prayer, education and action. Others were present on this day, including the National Association of Evangelicals, Sojourners' Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Christian Community Development Association, Neighborhood Ministries, MIKA CDC from Costa Mesa, California, and some folks from Kingdom Causes.

This is a preview:
