From The Epsicopal Church-
Recently,
the Administration announced that it will begin separating families and
criminally prosecuting all people who enter the U.S. without previous
authorization. As religious leaders representing diverse faith
perspectives, united in our concern for the wellbeing of vulnerable
migrants who cross our borders fleeing from danger and threats to their
lives, we are deeply disappointed and pained to hear this news.
We
affirm the family as a foundational societal structure to support human
community and understand the household as an estate blessed by God. The
security of the family provides critical mental, physical and emotional
support to the development and wellbeing of children. Our congregations
and agencies serve many migrant families that have recently arrived in
the United States. Leaving their communities is often the only option
they have to provide safety for their children and protect them from
harm. Tearing children away from parents who have made a dangerous
journey to provide a safe and sufficient life for them is unnecessarily
cruel and detrimental to the well-being of parents and children.
