Annual Conference Information

June 10, 2019 Leave a Comment

In the past we have linked a great deal of information. If you scroll through the recent archive of posts, the last forty or so of them are devotionals from the Lenten Season (worth a read, if you didn’t get to them during Lent).

During Annual Conference we will be submitting a resolution (Resolution 2019 — Seeing Immigrant People). This resolution will invite the Conference to do a few things:

  1. Become aware of their immigrant neighbors and the forces affecting them.
  2. Be connected to the Conference-wide work done with immigrant neighbors.
  3. Support the work already being done, including the Law Clinic efforts.

Places to find information about your immigrant neighbors and the current laws affecting them:

  • NC Council of Churches immigration ministry contact Rachel Baker
  • Alerta Migratoria
  • NC Policy Watch from the NC Justice Center — www.NCPolicyWatch.com
  • Subscribe to mailing list from the Justice For Our Neighbors network  — www.NJFON.org

Ways to offer assistance to your local immigrant neighbors:

  • Catholic Charities — https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/
  • Dial 211 — to find out local sources of aid.
  • Connect to a good immigration lawyer — e.g. Doug Thie who spoke at AC a couple years back.

Stuff you/your Church can get connected to:

  • Institute for Emerging Issues’ Rural Faith Communities wing and “Multicultural Partnerships” Peer Network — https://iei.ncsu.edu/faith/
  • Get a coach through the Rural Center to connect better with your immigrant neighbors — https://www.ncruralcenter.org/engagement/faith-in-rural-communities/
  • Connect with FaithAction or learn more about it — http://faithaction.org/
  • Explore Student Action with Farmworkers — https://www.saf-unite.org/
  • Tell Congress to Stop Child Detention

NCCUMC Efforts going on through the rest of the year:

  • Apex Law Clinic in Apex, NC
  • JFON Law Clinic in Fayetteville
  • Sanctuary Support with pastor Jose Chicas in Durham

  • When God Breaks the Law
  • The Book of Revelation is Political: Jesus, Empire, and Immigration in the US
  • The Resistance Prays e-mail
