Can CVUU be a Sanctuary Church?

The idea of churches providing sanctuary to people in need of protection from injustice has a long history dating back centuries. The modern Sanctuary Movement in the US reemerged in the 1970’s and 80’s in response to immigration policies that seemed to many as unfair and inconsistent with the our founding principles.

Depending on who you’re listening to, freedom is: * the founding principle of our nation, certainly at risk from your political opponents * paid for in blood, and constantly taken for granted * a damn good excuse for an awful lot of concerning policies and decisions Maybe this isn’t as simple as it sounds in political speeches or on TV. Join us on June 8th for a thoughtful discussion on freedom; what it means to us, and what we can do to preserve our most highly-regarded and … Continue reading Freedom Discussion
