Southern Baptist Convention addresses immigration issues

During the Southern Baptist Convention, June 14-15, in Phoenix, attendees passed an immigration resolution that said “any form of nativism, mistreatment, or exploitation is inconsistent with the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The Baptist Press reports “the measure called for the government to make a priority of border security and holding businesses accountable in their hiring”. Public officials were also asked “to implement, with the borders secured, a just and compassionate path to legal status, with appropriate restitutionary measures, for those undocumented immigrants already living in our country.”
