Justice and Witness Committee

Wednesday morning, the Justice and Witness Committee met to consider how to follow up the passage of the Immigration Resolution at Annual Meeting, building strategies for meaningful responses to the passage of SB1070.

We heard some very helpful words from Senator Guittierrez, who served as state senator for 16 years, 14 of them as the Senate majority leader. Sitting to his right are Luis Gonzalez, pastor of the TOX ministries, and fellow member Alfonso Escarena. To his left is Kelly Kahlstrom, member at First Congregational. Phoenix.


Here are Yvette and Judith, also members at TOX ministries.


And this is Noel Anderson, intern at Church of the Good Shepherd in Sahuarita AZ and one of our Southwest Conference Members in Discernment.


We heard powerful stories from some of the members of the TOX ministries. We heard very good information from the Senator about the bill and its legal impact. We heard some very creative ideas about educating our church members and empowering them to creatively respond to this bill. This was a very meaningful meeting.
