Welcoming the “Stranger”
Many immigrant women arrive in the United States to seek a
better life for themselves and their families. Unfortunately there
are not many laws to protect immigrant women from the many
challenges they face when arriving to the U.S. Currently there
are two major proposals in Congress that seek to provide
immigration reform. In addition, urgent action needed is to
reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

God's presence amidst natural calamity
At the wake of Hurricane Katrina’s impact, a United Methodist
Women member in Alabama West Florida conference told me,
“Tears all over my face, I am watching the TV. Refugees are
flooding into our area.”
Many of us could identify with her tears.
Only a few weeks ago, Mumbai, India, reeled in the monsoon
rains. More than one thousand people died. I called my nephew
in Mumbai to find out whether he was safe. Mumbai has no
mechanism to safe-guard its sprawling population when the sea
water joins hands in a treacherous dance with the monsoon
waters.
