Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform - California

This group is for anyone that is involved in a Christian Faith Community and is willing to engage in dialogue with other Christians about how our faith and understanding of scripture would have us create new policies that are aligned with values and principles that are consistent with the values and principles of Jesus.

This Group is a regional connector for Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform /Sojourners.

1. The Bible calls Christians to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God

2. The Bible calls us to "speak for those that have no voice."

3. How we treat immigrants is a barometer of our spirituality as a people -"For I was a stranger and you invited me in."

4. We believe that laws are important as they serve people's dignity, but should not be used destroy anyone's dignity.

5. We call on our Church leaders and lay people to take a fresh look at God's heart for the Sojourners among us.
