Sanctuary Training for Faith Leaders—July 8, Lancaster

July 8, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

July 8, 2017, 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Hafer Center at Lancaster Theological Seminary, 555 West James Street, Lancaster PA 17603

Citizen’s Immigration & Refugee Action Committee is hosting a training by Sanctuary Philadelphia, a member of the New Sanctuary Movement.  We welcome people of all faiths who want their congregations to take action and leadership in assisting vulnerable members of their community.

This training will include:

  1. Best practices for physical Sanctuary.
  2. Accompaniment.
  3. How to start Sanctuary in the Streets raid response.
  4. How to coordinate with local and statewide campaigns.

We encourage congregational decision makers and active congregants to sign up for this training.  We see the current political climate as the birth of something big and beautiful and powerful: a new way of providing Sanctuary for all.  The New Sanctuary Movement invites communities of faith to join forces to protect and engage with the undocumented persons among us.
