Turning Strangers into Neighbors: Helping Congregations with Immigration

Chris Liu-Beers, Former Program Associate · December 19, 2012 · Leave a Comment

FaithAction International House (Greensboro, NC)
FaithAction International House (Greensboro, NC)

Please join us for this free 45-minute webinar:

Thursday, Jan. 31
9:00am
Free registration required – click here

Immigration continues to be a hot topic on the news and in the pews. As North Carolina continues to experience demographic changes, one of the main questions facing our ministries is how to respond to our new neighbors. This free 45-minute webinar will take a look at innovative ways to communicate about immigration issues with your congregation or community group, helping to transform the conversation from a political context to a religious and values-based context. In particular, we’ll highlight the new “Stranger to Neighbor” program by FaithAction International House, which is engaging a diverse group of congregations in Greensboro.

Our guest speaker is David Fraccaro, Executive Director of FaithAction International House in Greensboro, NC.
