Religious faith leaders gathered together and released a statement this morning in support of immigration reform.
Minnesota's Catholic bishops, through their public policy office, the Minnesota Catholic Conference, and Transform Minnesota, a regional network of evangelical churches and ministries from nine denominations, announced at the plaza of the U.S. Courthouse an open letter to Minnesota's congressional representatives that "urges them to work together to pass just and compassionate immigration reform," according to a released statement from the group.
The letter has been signed by more than 100 Christian faith leaders from across Minnesota, including all six ELCA bishops and the head of the Minnesota Council of Churches. The signatories represent more than 2 million Minnesota Christians.
Downloadable versions of the letter can be found online at the Minnesota Catholic Conference website: mncc.org and transformmn.org.
