Understanding Immigration Law and Policy
Immigration is mainly a problem for people who came from Latin America, or isn’t it? If you marry an American, you immediately become a U.S. citizen, or don’t you? Better enforcement will reduce immigration-related problems, or won’t it? Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070 does not affect my ministry at Central, or does it?

Crossing Borders in a Time of Fear

Receiving Their Gifts

What is it like to be Presbyterian, Latino, and American? What type of ministry can we find within our denomination, not far from Atlanta, for multi-cultural, bilingual congregations? You mean to tell me that you can worship, encourage spiritual growth, embrace diversity, and affirm Reformed faith in English and Spanish?

José E. Torres, Parish Associate at Friendship Presbyterian Church, Leader; he will be introduced by Rev. Sara Hayden
