'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events Clergy see faith parallels in march
Immigrants often turn to church as place for help."Religious leaders in the movement say they are driven by the most ancient writings in the Bible that call on people to reach out to strangers with food, clothing and hospitality. They refer also to New Testament passages in which Jesus directed his people to care for the poor, to aid those who are hurting and to love your neighbor as yourself."
"Yet, around the faith community, others see competing spiritual imperatives at work in the immigration issue."

[IndyChristian Ed. Note: I really appreciate Robert King's article presenting both sides of the issue among Christians. But why do we only see that occurring in a secular newpaper? Where's 'the Church'? Where, I continue to ask, is the common discussion ground among Biblically-based Christian leaders to 'sharpen one another'? To our shame, it seems the vast majority of the talking-points in the conversation so far are driven by nationalism, fear, economic reasons, or outright political alignments.... not 'WWJD?' or 'What wise counsel does the Bible give us firstly & foremostly?']
