Tempe's Dayspring United Methodist Church, 1365 E. Elliot Road, is hosting "a civil dialog" on one of the most controversial issues in America - immigration.
The educational program, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 15, will feature Margie Ault-Duell of Borderlinks of Tucson, an organization offering experiential education for churches and educational institutions. Ault-Duell will speak on "Immigrants: Who are they and why do they come?"
The Rev. Jim Perdue, a missionary from the Desert Southwest Conference of the United Methodist Church, will present the second topic: "Myths & Realities - Biblical and Moral Perspectives." And, Clark Olson, professor at Arizona State University's Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, will handle audience participation, questions and answers during an afternoon "Civil Dialogue."
The immigration forum is open to the public and includes an optional $7 catered lunch. There is no cost for those not having lunch, but registration is required for everyone. For more information, contact the Rev. Jane Baker at janepbaker@cox.net.

I did some checking in Google about them. They are pro ILLEGAL ALIEN supporters. So that's one meeting I won't bother to go to. They want us to "respect" them because of where they come from. However. why should I respect anyone that has NO RESPECT for MY COUNTRY'S laws?

If these Christian Churches want to have a dialogue about "law breaking"...that's fine. Why don't they invite pedeophiles, rapists, burglars, drug smugglers (a few of the Zetta's..you know..the ones who like to string their victims up on freeway bridges), arsonists too. Since we are being so "Civil" why not invite the Taliban and Al-Queda and they can give their...."side of the story".
Let's open up the discussion to every criminal out there...because that is what "illegal aliens" are...criminals.........not......."undocumented migrants" because "migrants" go back home and "illegal aliens" ....don't.
These "God Pilots" ...might want to read the passage in the New Testament about...."rendering unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's and to God what is God's".

THE IRONY! IT BURNS!
So they'll kick me out for being "undocumented"? Really?
I'll be bringing my video camera!

Actually rouse2, here's what Jesus had to say:
Matthew 22:21 Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's
In other words, OBEY THE LAW.
If the "civil dialouge" is supposed to be about IMMIGRATION, why does the picture accompanying the article.only show CRIMINAL ALIEN INVADERS?
How can dialouge be civil if it starts out so deceitful and dishonest?

at some point you've got to say, i don't care what Jesus would do, Jesus is not paying for it.
