This report explores theological and practical concerns individual Christian citizens, pastors, church workers, and congregations ought to consider with regard to immigration. The report includes case studies for reflection and discussion and some brief guidelines that provide general parameters for the church’s work.
The report, published in both English and Spanish, is available online at www.lcms.org/ctcr and may be downloaded at no cost or hard copies may be purchased from Concordia Publishing House at www.cph.org or 800-325-3040 ; order #09-2624 (English); order #09-2625 (Spanish). Upon request, our office would be happy to send you a complimentary copy of this report in English, Spanish, or both.
