Love Thy Stranger as Thyself
Molly Worthen writes in The New York Times’ Sunday Review on the growing support for immigration reform coming from socially conservative evangelicals. Worthen opines that this enthusiastic support “suggests an important shift in how conservative Protestants—who policed the boundaries of our national identity for almost four centuries—think about what it means to be American.” She continues, “It may also point to the beginnings of real change in how evangelicals understand the problem of justice in a fallen world, and the challenge that Latino and other minority Christians pose to the assumptions of the culture wars.”
