How interfaith sanctuary groups navigate theological differences about resistance

Our interfaith sanctuary partnership brings together congregations with very different theological and political perspectives on immigration, and while we agree on protecting vulnerable families, we can't agree on whether to engage in civil disobedience or stick to legal advocacy. The families we're supporting are watching us debate while they wait for action.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A partnership is discovering that shared compassion doesn't automatically translate into shared strategies when moral convictions about methods diverge.
