Catholic Bishops of Mexico and the United States on Immigration
Anne Clifford
Wednesday, 24 Oct 2018 at 7:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Fifteen years ago, in 2003, Catholic Bishops from Mexico and the United States issued a joint document on immigration titled "Strangers No Longer: Together on a Journey of Hope." It was to encourage persons of good will to consider the causes and effects of migration. Anne Clifford, the Msgr. James A. Supple Chair in Catholic Studies at Iowa State, will discuss this historic document, with attention to Catholic biblically rooted social justice principles and current developments. Msgr. James A.
