How does the language preachers, politicians or reporters use impact the kind of immigration policies we might make or opinions we have about migrants themselves?
In my first two pieces as Faith and Immigration Reporter at Sojourners magazine, I take a look at both issues.
In the one, I explore how more than colloquial conundrum, the language we use determines the policies we support and the theologies we hold about people crossing borders.
In the other, I talk to pastors and theologians about how they are navigating the political polarization around the topic from their pulpits.
