FALL Book Study: Migrant God: A Christian Vision for Immigrant Justice, by Isaac Villegas

Canon Hill and the Ministry for Racial Justice and Healing invites you to share in fall book study of “Migrant God: A Christian Vision for Immigrant Justice” by Isaac Villegas.  In a world grappling with complex issues of migration and belonging, Villegas offers a powerful and deeply theological exploration of God’s presence among migrants and our call as Christians to advocate for justice, welcome and the dignity of every human being. This isn’t just a book study about immigration, but a profound reflection on the very nature of God, our shared humanity, and what it means to Love Jesus, Embody Justice and Be Disciples as people of faith.

In our three-week book study, we will explore:

• Biblical narratives of migration and displacement: How does scripture inform our understanding of the migrant experience?
• Theological foundations for immigrant justice: What does our faith teach us about welcoming the stranger and advocating for the vulnerable?
• Practical ways to engage in advocacy and support: How can we, as individuals and as a church, make a tangible difference in the lives of migrants and immigrants?
• Challenging our assumptions and expanding our compassion: How can we grow in empathy and understanding for those on the margins?
