                      by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--Concerned about the growing backlash against immigrants 
and refugees in the United States, the Presbyterian World Service Advisory 
Committee has earmarked $20,000 to help fight anti-immigration ballot 
measures. 
 
     The money, from the One Great Hour of Sharing offering, will be 
provided as grants to church coalitions working against anti-immigration 
initiatives in their communities or states.  Individual grants will range 
from $2,000 to $3,000. 
 
     More information on the program is available from Presbyterian World 
Service, 100 Witherspoon Street, Louisville, KY 40202; phone: (502) 
569-5805.
