In this article, a pastor describes a church’s response when one of their own experiences a family separation – including raising legal fees, money for travel, and having representation at court. Using scripture as well as pastoral experience, the author discusses how a congregation spanning the political spectrum responded to an immigration issue in their midst.engAll rights reservedLutheran ethicsdeportationPolitical ethicsComparative religious ethicsSpecific religion, ChristianityChristian denominationsLutheranArticle
