Preaching God’s Narrative: Solidarity with Migrants and the Detained
In honor of the Jubilee Year, Discerning Deacons is offering a formation series equipping preachers and Ministers of the Word as they walk together and with all God’s children as Pilgrims of Hope.
There are three sessions in the series. We begin on April 9 with the theme:
“The God Who Was Condemned and Refused to Condemn: Deepening Paths for Solidarity with Migrants and the Detained.”
We are pleased to announce our featured guest speakers who will guide us in an afternoon centered on preaching, reflection, and our human family.
Deborah Organ – Professor of Theology and Director of the Lay Ministry Program at the University of St. Thomas
Isaac Villegas – Ordained minister in Mennonite Church USA, and author of Migrant God: A Christian Vision for Immigrant Justice
Catalina Morales Bahena – Director of Learning at Faith in Action
