“Who is My Neighbor? A Faith-Based Dialogue on Immigration,” a DVD-based curricular resource encouraging faith-based consideration of immigration, is now available. You can View the DVD or Order your copy and study materials online.

Developed through a partnership with Iliff, Colorado Council of Churches, the American Friends Service Committee, Colorado Immigrant Rights Council, and The Bell Policy Center, the resource is useful for congregations in adult educational settings and can be used at any time througout the year. In addition to looking at biblical and faith perspectives on immigration, the curriculum works to describe features of a just comprehensive immigration reform.
