Crossing Borders: Migration, Theology, and the Human Journey
Immigration is a complex issue with no simple solution. Crossing Borders is an 8-week long JustFaith module that provides participants a chance to find common ground and to discover more about themselves, our God and the millions of people who are on the move in every part of the world. Participants must be willing to both engage in dialogue and be good listeners.
When: Monday afternoons from 2:00 - 4:30 pm, September 21 - November 9
Where: St. Mary's, Ontario or Epiphany, Sodus depending on consensus of participants
Cost: $10 plus an additional $50.50 for books, but no one will be turned away for inability to pay.
