Colloquium on Religion and Immigration: Strangers No Longer - Immigration Law and Policy in the Light of Religious Values

6 Pages Posted: 11 Sep 2007

Abstract

In 2005, lawyers, social workers, community activists, clergy and scholars gathered at Fordham Law School's Manhattan campus, just a few miles from New York Harbor, in search of a wider lens through which to examine the manifold dimensions of immigration law and policy.

The focal point of the conference was to consider how religious values and commitments may support and inform efforts to reform immigration law and policy, and how a deeper understanding of religious values and traditions may help to heal increased tensions and division in a post-September 11th world. Conversations also tackled the tensions and conflicts that religious values may bring to the surface, and explored how to navigate those conflicts.

Contributors include: Michael Scaperlanda, Stephen H. Legomsky, Elizabeth McCormick and Patrick McCormick, Marta Vides Saade, Kathryn A. Lee, and Michael Churgin.

Keywords: immigration, religion
