Reminder; Sign Up for Immigration as a Moral Issue

"Immigration as a Moral Issue" is the UUA’s Congregational Study/Action Issue 2010—2014. This class is offered as a 6 week curriculum giving a broad overview to the complex issue of immigration. The UU Church of Urbana-Champaign is hosting a 6-week class beginning September 10th on Mondays from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Children's Chapel. To sign up, or to get more information, please contact the church office at 384-8862 or admin@uucuc.org. "This six-week course highlights one of the greatest moral crises of our time. Migration of people-driven by economic, social, political and environmental factors-is taking place around the world. Millions are currently in transit, in refugee camps, in detention centers, or living and working in places without full legal status and without access to social services or protection of civil rights. The dignity of all the world's peoples is core to Unitarian Universalist (UU) principles and values. Given the justice-oriented nature of UU faith, UUs are called to be leaders in the struggle for immigrant and refugee rights, and to view immigration not only as a legal issue but also a moral issue."
