“For the Lord your God…executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Love the sojourner therefore; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.” (Deuteronomy 10:17-19)
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” (Matthew 19:14)
Dear Church,
Our sacred scriptures are filled with stories of uprooted peoples and prophets in movement, with constant presence and direction from God. We are inspired by the leading of our Lord who liberated the Israelites, comforted the community as they faced exile and later repatriation, and guided Jesus’ family to safety as they fled persecution under Herod. We therefore are ready to live out our call to demonstrate radical hospitality and welcome today’s immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers who are likewise searching for protection from persecution.
Our hearts grieve the deaths of children on the U.S.-Mexico border and in detention facilities while in U.S. custody which are at odds with our call to welcome. We urge the release of immigrant children and adults held captive within our land in detention holding centers reported in recent weeks by the Office of Inspector General to have “issues of dangerous overcrowding” and sub-standard hygiene requiring “corrective action…critical to the immediate health and safety needs of detainees.” We are appalled by the “prolonged detention of children and adults,” despite regulations aimed to ensure children are housed only in sanitary conditions, are released without unnecessary delay, and would be placed in the least restrictive conditions.
We remember how Jesus announced his ministry “to preach good news to the poor… proclaim release to the captives and…set at liberty those who are oppressed” (Luke 4:18). We reaffirm our previous commitments against family separations and efforts to end child detention, and we again demand these practices that are keeping children detained in dozens of facilities be ended. Together with the Oklahoma Conference of Churches, we speak out against the housing of immigrant children at Fort Sill Army post where Japanese Americans were interned during World War II, and “cannot stand silent as this history is repeated with innocent children who will, no doubt, incur trauma and life-altering consequences.”
Because we believe that love can transcend every cultural divide, we join with ecumenical and interfaith partners to urge all persons seeking asylum be granted full due process and opportunities to pursue protections as guaranteed by national and international laws. We confess US foreign policies have contributed to exploitation of Central American countries and created root conditions that encourage persons to migrate.
As people of faith, we are eager to “not neglect to show hospitality to strangers” (Hebrews 13:2) and to strengthen our efforts to become “Immigrant Welcoming Congregations.” Therefore, we urge our government leaders to positively and urgently address the crisis at the border; such as establishing regional refugee processing centers, strengthening asylum protections in the US and Mexico, modernizing ports of entry, using existing funding to US Customs and Border Protection to hire child welfare professionals, supporting proven and community-based alternatives to detention, and addressing the root causes of migration.
In this critical moment, aware that our “ancestor Jacob was a wandering Aramean who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt…but…became a large and mighty nation” (Deuteronomy 26:5, NLT), we seek to faithfully assume our responsibilities to care for the sojourner. For we remember Jesus’ words that “as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40).
In Christ’s love,

“Porque el Señor su Dios… hace justicia al huérfano y a la viuda, y que ama también al extranjero y le da pan y vestido. Así que ustedes deben amar a los extranjeros, porque ustedes fueron extranjeros en Egipto.” (Deuteronomio 10: 17-19)
Entonces Jesús dijo: “Dejen que los niños se acerquen a mí. No se lo impidan, porque el reino de los cielos es de los que son como ellos.” (Mateo 19:14)
Querida Iglesia,
Nuestras sagradas escrituras están llenas de historias de pueblos desarraigados y profetas en movimiento, con constante presencia y dirección de Dios. Nos inspiramos en el liderazgo de nuestro Señor que liberó a los israelitas, consoló a la comunidad mientras se enfrentaban al exilio y luego a la repatriación, y guió a la familia de Jesús a un lugar seguro mientras huían de la persecución bajo Herodes. Por lo tanto, estamos listos para cumplir nuestro llamado a demostrar una hospitalidad radical y dar la bienvenida a los inmigrantes, refugiados y solicitantes de asilo de hoy en día que también están buscando protección contra la persecución.
Nuestros corazones lloran la muerte de niños en la frontera de Estados Unidos con México y en centros de detención mientras se encuentran bajo la custodia de los Estados Unidos, lo que está en desacuerdo con nuestro llamado a recibir. Instamos a la liberación de niños y adultos inmigrantes que se encuentran cautivos dentro de nuestra tierra en centros de detención, mismos que de acuerdo al informe en las últimas semanas por la Oficina del Inspector General cuentan con “problemas de sobrepoblación peligroso” y una higiene deficiente que requiere “medidas correctivas … críticas para las necesidades inmediatas de salud y seguridad de los detenidos”. Nos sentimos horrorizados por la “detención prolongada de niños y adultos”, a pesar de las regulaciones destinadas a garantizar que los niños se alojen solo en condiciones sanitarias, sean liberados sin demoras innecesarias y se coloquen en las condiciones menos restrictivas.
Recordamos cómo Jesús anunció su ministerio “de predicar buenas nuevas a los pobres … proclamar la liberación a los cautivos y … poner en libertad a los oprimidos” (Lucas 4:18). Reafirmamos nuestros compromisos previos contra las separaciones familiares y los esfuerzos para poner fin a la detención de niños, y una vez más, exigimos que se ponga fin a estas prácticas que mantienen a los niños detenidos en docenas de instalaciones. Junto con la Conferencia de Iglesias de Oklahoma, nos manifestamos en contra de el alojamiento de los niños inmigrantes en el puesto del Ejército de Fort Sill donde los estadounidenses de origen japonés fueron internados durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y “no podemos permanecer en silencio mientras que esta historia se repite con niños inocentes que, sin duda, incurrirán trauma y consecuencias que alteran la vida”.
Debido a que creemos que el amor puede trascender todas las divisiones culturales, nos unimos a compañeros ecuménicos e interreligiosos para instar que a toda persona que solicite asilo sea otorgada el debido proceso completo y las oportunidades para buscar protecciones como lo garantizan las leyes nacionales e internacionales. Confesamos que las políticas exteriores de los Estados Unidos han contribuido a la explotación de los países centroamericanos y han creado condiciones de raíz que alientan a las personas a migrar.
Como personas de fe, estamos ansiosos por “no dejan de practicar la hospitalidad a los extraños” (Hebreos 13: 2) y fortalecer nuestros esfuerzos para convertirnos en “Congregaciones de acogida de inmigrantes”. Por lo tanto, instamos a nuestros líderes gubernamentales a abordar de manera positiva y urgente la crisis en la frontera; como el establecimiento de centros regionales de procesamiento de refugiados, el fortalecimiento de las protecciones de asilo en los EE. UU. y México, la modernización de los puertos de entrada, el uso de fondos existentes para Aduanas y Protección de Fronteras de los EE. UU. para contratar profesionales de bienestar infantil, apoyando alternativas a la detención comprobadas y basadas en la comunidad, y abordando las causas fundamentales de la migración.
En este momento crítico, conscientes de que nuestro “antepasado Jacob era un arameo errante que fue a vivir como extranjero en Egipto … pero … se convirtió en una nación grande y poderosa” (Deuteronomio 26: 5, NTV), buscamos asumir fielmente nuestras responsabilidades de cuidar al viajero. Porque recordamos las palabras de Jesús que “les digo que todo lo que hicieron por uno de mis hermanos más pequeños, por mí lo hicieron” (Mateo 25:40).
En el amor de Cristo,

Minta Colburn
I very much support this statement, although I’m not sure you are seeking signatures from people without titles or positions.
Cherilyn Williams
Minta – We very much want signatures from all Disciples who wish to agree with this position. We simply were able to solicit some of the leaders quickly before posting. Please add your name if you wish.
Josephine Manns
The majority of us in America do not agree to how you are being treated. I am so sorry that you and your children have been separated, and pray for you daily. No human being should be treated as you have been. Be assure there are people who are working on your behalf. Keep faith and know things will change for the better.
Sherrill M Morris
Thank you so much for beginning the so-very-important discussion. My belief is that it is not enough to make the detention centers hygienic and less crowded, we must change the process so they are not needed. It is a human right to ask for asylum and legal as well. I work with Honduran and Guatemalan families who have come out of detention with their children and been bussed to Denver for assistance in their processing and moving on towards final landing with their sponsor families around the country. God’s work, our hands, as our ELCA sibs would say. These experiences, the stories I have listened to have left me a changed person and I pray Rev. Dr. Hord Owens will be on the border with Repairers of the Breach at the end of the month, so she can bring the stories back to us, the DOC Church at large.
William Rose-Heim
Signing this important letter is a good step. It cannot be our last. Moving from the current moral chaos will require far more from each of us as disciples of Jesus Christ. It is no accident that we are alive in this moment in history and nurtured and prepared carefully over the years in the Church. God has more faith in us than we will ever have in God or in one another. I pray that I/we continue to honor that faith and keep on finding the courage and the will to sacrifice certainty, comfort and control for the sake of advancing the cause of Christ. Si se puede. YES WE CAN!
Rev Sharon Cantrell
I think I signed up but do not see my name. How do we make sure.
Cherilyn Williams
We will be making updates periodically throughout the next few days, so if you don’t see it by Friday, please resubmit.
Cindy Wallace
Prayers for the separated families, the sick children and our very souls. Lord, have mercy
Pastor Julio Barquero

Magdala Gue-Alabre
May God delivers them!!! And may he open the heart of those in power to have mercy for those in needs
D. Kent Deubner
Thank you.
Kega Nasios
It is so important that we follow the example of Jesus, and stand for those who are injured spiritually, physically, and mentally. We must continue to fight oppression everywhere we find it, not only with our words but those words into action. All human beings are children of the Creator and there is only one race; the human race!
Karen Sarabia
Sign me in, please God bless!
Christin Miller
Let us not forget Jesus spent time in a foreign land as a child.
Dr. Marla K. BANKS
This is such a sad time, and I’m praying for the immigrants.
Rev. Michael Schmidt Nebraska City First Christian Church Nebraska City Nebeaska
I do not see how any person can oppose helping children
Melody Keazer

Kenneth Oswald, Seminary Student, Winebrenner Theological Seminary, FCC Tiffin, Ohio
May we continue in prayer for all the oppressed.
Julie Logan
Christ’s strength be with them.
April Rollins
Keep families together!!!!
Angela G Johnson
Families should not be separated. As I learn more about this issue at General Assembly, I feel more strongly about it.
Andrea Rainier
Let the children come to me
Bill Shive

Sandra Cowan

Meg Knol-Digby

Justin Moore
Thank you for speaking out!
Beth Davis
Please protect and honor the least among us.
Rev. Cheryl Breiner
Thank you, church for addressing this.
Sylvia H. Hodges
Thank you very much.
Kevin Deibert
Recently changed church’s/ Please add me (my new info.) to the signatory list. I hope more from the congregation will follow.
Bob Yowler
There are no borders in natural geography, nor in God’s love. We MUST SHARE the abundance of what we, each of us AND in community, have.
The WHOLE WORLD is OUR FAMILY!
Stop searching for ways to separate people.
Let families be reunited and allowed into our country. We need them as much as they need us.
Joan Fuller
Matthew 25:40-45 Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Janet Chalif
Very much support this statement. It is what Jesus would say.
Grace Williams
Prayers for peace
