Immigration Archives
United Methodist Women’s immigration initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to racial justice, and civil and human rights. The biblical mandate to “welcome the stranger” has long been the foundation of the United Methodist Church’s policy statements and outreach to immigrant communities in the United States. Likewise, United Methodist Women seeks to welcome immigrants and advocate for just immigration policies. The initiative is another effort fulfill our Charter for Racial Justice, first adopted in 1952 to declare racism a sin and charge us with dismantling institutional racism.
