ELCA Presiding Bishop Says Time for Immigration Reform is Now
10-189-MRC

CHICAGO (ELCA) -- The time has come for immigration reform in the
United States, according to the Rev. Mark S. Hanson, presiding bishop of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Although issues
surrounding immigration are "complex and not easily resolved," the
biblical witness for reform is clear, Hanson wrote in a July 13 pastoral
letter to the 4.6 million-member ELCA.
