Justice, charity, and treating others as Jesus would
For several months I have wanted to address in my monthly letter the debate of many years about immigrants and refugees in the United States. It is a controversial subject, and I do not want to simply add to the controversy. And yet, the time has come that I must appeal to the citizens of our nation to come to some minimal but very important consensus.
