Evangelicals Pray for Just Immigration Reform
WASHINGTON — Over 250 Evangelical pastors traveled Tuesday from 25 different states to Washington, D.C., to urge members of Congress to pass immigration reform based upon a set of six principles this year.
Dr. John Perkins, a leader in Evangelicalism's racial reconciliation movement and co-founder of the Christian Community Development Association, recalled that Evangelicals were largely absent from the Civil Rights Movement but he felt honored to be among Evangelicals engaged on the immigration issue.
"Fifty years ago the African-American community longed to be heard, and unfortunately much of the evangelical community was not standing with us. However, I'm absolutely honored to be standing today with my brothers and sisters looking forward, recognizing that the urgency of the now is upon us. It is time for us to make a decision for immigration reform," he said.
