“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

    Amen. I also remember an ahead-of-its-time sermon on finding Christ in the outskirts of society. Thank you, Tim.

    Amen! Federal Court just granted a national stay for those with visas coming in. A small victory. Thank you Tim.
