Judson Memorial Church’s "Over the Fence and Under the Radar" series begins this Sunday at 1pm. This will be an excellent opportunity to consult with local experts on US immigration, and discuss its implications within the context of our principles. Come to listen, ask questions, and get ideas to take back to your own congregation or community.
How did immigrants impact the United States in the past? What does immigration mean today? Who are our new immigrants, and why are they here? What impact does immigration have on our democracy, our economy, our society? What would fair immigration policies and laws look like? What will the future hold and how can we build a strong diverse country?
Join a series of Sunday afternoon dialogues at Judson Memorial Church about these very complex and compelling issues. Each discussion, led by a guest speaker, will focus on a different set of issues raised by immigration, especially undocumented immigrants, in the United States and our city today.
