“It’s a biblical mandate for us to welcome the foreigner, to care for them,” he said.

He pointed to directives to welcome the stranger throughout the Old and New Testament, including Jesus’ words in the Gospels. The United Methodist Social Principles also urge care for immigrants and refugees.

“It’s a biblical understanding that we are placed with this responsibility to care, protect and love our neighbor.”

United Methodists are among the Christian and Jewish bodies suing to prevent ICE agents from intruding on their ministry with immigrants and their worship.
