During earlier waves of immigration our predecessors met women disembarking from boats at Ellis Island in New York City and gave them shelter, community and training for jobs. They established the Gum Moon Center in San Francisco to shelter and support immigrant women arriving from Asia. Thus, it is no surprise that when tensions over immigrants to the United States heated up in 2006, United Methodist Women launched an ongoing Immigrant and Civil Rights Initiative. The response has been passionate and profound. See the re- port Because We Believe: United Methodist Women Take Action for Immigrant and Civil Rights 2006-2012 at www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/act/immigration. This initiative is deeply rooted in our biblical heritage. We are all created in God’s image, and we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is also rooted in the Charter for Racial Justice, which, for more than 30 years, has guided United Methodist Women’s commitment to action for racial justice. We build on United Methodist Church policy and on the powerful stance taken by our bishops, by the United Methodist Task Force on Immigration, church agencies and leaders. Together we realize that God is calling us at this mo- ment in history to boldly speak out and act for justice as brothers and sisters are demonized, persecuted, exploited, incarcerated and discarded. This initiative is also about the ongoing civil rights struggle in the United States and global human rights agenda. It calls us to build bridges across communities seeking to claim full rights, dignity and equality. Former national United Methodist Women President Kyung Za Yim observed, “Today, there is the need for all communities to join together in building a new movement for the rights of all communities—immigrants, communities of color, and the working people subject to poverty wages. This is the time to come together to fulfill the mission call of freeing the oppressed and advocating for justice.”1 This resource is a tool for worship, education and action on immigrant and civil rights. It is available online at www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/act/immigration and can be downloaded in its entirety or by chapter. We hope you will use it in many contexts and many ways as you continue to put faith, hope and love into action. Carol Barton is United Methodist Women executive for community action. Jay Godfrey is seminar designer for the United Methodist Seminar Program. i"#FUUFS4FBTPOUP$PNF8F(PUUB.BLF*U)BQQFO3JTF 4IJOFBOE(MPSJGZ(PE wBEESFTTCZOBUJPOBM6OJUFE.FUIPEJTU Women’s President Kyung Za Yim to the Women’s Division Spring Meeting, March 31-April 3, 2006. !"#$%&'(")(*+,(-".,%/0(123202"%( 4&''(5,,*2%6(7889, Women’s Division, General Board of Global Ministries, The United Methodist Church, p. 39. 5 United Methodist Women t Hope and Hospitality How to Use This Resource BY JULIA KAYSER We know you’re not just reading this for leisure. You’re reading because you want to know how to make your communities more welcoming. You are the movers and shakers of our denomination and our world. Thank you for all of the hard work that you are doing to advocate for those in need. By gathering, sorting and publishing relevant information all in one place, we hope to make this important work a little easier. Recursos en español también están incluidos. We’ve included a variety of ready-to-use Bible studies, programs and worship services. These come with supplementary material such as handouts and instructions. You can use them at your local churches, district meetings and conference-wide events. We’ve also gathered worship elements such as prayers, songs and sermon starters. You’ll find these in the “Worship” chapter. Mix and match them to create unique worship experiences. You can also pull out a single prayer to center your group at the beginning of a meeting or activity or suggest that your church use a special song or litany to remember immigrants during a Sunday service. The “Policy” chapter is intended to provide background information about both church policy and U.S. policy. It’s a resource for in-depth study and legislative action. Immigration is often difficult to talk about because it is an issue over which people can be politically polarized. If you’re having trouble with respectful conversation in your local unit, consult the chapter “Controversial Issues.” It outlines a technique called holy conferencing that can help people with different backgrounds broach sensitive subjects. The rest of the chapter is organized topically. Each section offers related scripture with discussion questions. We hope that you will ground yourselves in scripture as you tackle these hard issues. There is also a group exercise and an action idea for each topic. The section on racism and xenophobia includes stories that you can use to emphasize the human aspect of immigration. If you feel inspired to make a difference but you don’t know where to start, read the chapter “Action Ideas.” And if you are on fire for this cause and want to delve even deeper, check out our suggestions for further reading both in the back of the book and within select chapters. .BZ(PEHJWFZPVTUSFOHUIBOEHSBDFUPUSBOTGPSNUIFXPSME Julia Kayser is a consultant to United Methodist Women and editor of the Hope and Hospitality resource manual. 6 6OJUFE.FUIPEJTU8PNFOt)PQFBOE)PTQJUBMJUZ Racial Justice Symbol This image represents United Methodist Women’s commitment to work for racial justice.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West.

  • “Bark! Bark! Bark!” Used with Permission from Denver Dumb Friends League and Humane Society of the United States
    “Bark! Bark! Bark!” Used with permission from Denver Dumb Friends League and Humane Society of the United States. Some canine behavior problems, such as house soiling, affect only a dog’s owners. However, problems such as escaping and excessive barking can result in neighborhood disputes and violations of animal control ordinances. Therefore, barking dogs can become “people problems.” If your dog’s barking has created neighborhood tension, it might be a good idea to discuss the problem with your neighbors. It’s perfectly normal and reasonable for dogs to bark from time to time, just as children make noise when they play outside. However, continual barking for long periods of time is a sign that your dog has a problem that needs to be addressed. The first thing you need to do is determine when and for how long your dog barks, and what’s causing him to bark. You may need to do some detective work to obtain this information, especially if the barking occurs when you’re not home. Ask your neighbors, drive or walk around the block and watch and listen for a while, or start a tape recorder or video camera when you leave for work. Hopefully, you’ll be able to discover which of the common problems discussed below is the cause of your dog’s barking. Social Isolation/Frustration/Attention-Seeking Your dog may be barking because he’s bored and lonely if: He’s left alone for long periods of time without opportunities for interaction with you. His environment is relatively barren, without playmates or toys.

  • The Expected Impact of State Immigration Legislation on Labor
    The Expected Impact of State Julie L. Hotchkiss Immigration Legislation on Myriam Quispe-Agnoli Labor Market Outcomes Abstract In response to the dramatic rise in the number of unauthorized immigrants to the United States, every state has passed some form of immigration legislation. These laws appear to be predicated on a belief that unauthorized immigrants impose greater costs than benefits to state and local communities, including the labor market. The purpose of this paper is to examine some evidence on what workers should expect if the im- migration legislation is successful in eliminating undocumented workers from states’ labor markets. C 2012 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management. INTRODUCTION “The State of Alabama [Oklahoma] finds that illegal immigration is causing economic hardshipandlawlessnessinthisstate...” Alabama HB 56 (http://www.ncsl.org/documents/statefed/AlabamaH56.pdf) [Oklahoma HB 1804 (http://ssl.csg.org/dockets/29cycle/29A/2009adocketbills/ 1929A04ok.pdf)] “The legislature declares that the intent of this act is to make attrition through en- forcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona. The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.” Arizona SB 1070 (http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf) “Illegal immigration matters.” Indiana SB 590 (http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2011/PDF/IN/IN0590.1.pdf) According the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), state legislative interest in immigration issues spiked in 2005, when 300 immigration bills were introduced into state legislatures; 39 of them survived to become law that year.1 Activity nearly doubled in 2006, then exploded in 2007 with 1,562 bills introduced and 240 becoming law.

  • Sylvia's Lovers Volume I by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
    Sylvia's Lovers Volume I By Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell Sylvia's Lovers Volume I by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell CHAPTER I MONKSHAVEN On the north-eastern shores of England there is a town called Monkshaven, containing at the present day about fifteen thousand inhabitants. There were, however, but half the number at the end of the last century, and it was at that period that the events narrated in the following pages occurred. Monkshaven was a name not unknown in the history of England, and traditions of its having been the landing-place of a throneless queen were current in the town. At that time there had been a fortified castle on the heights above it, the site of which was now occupied by a deserted manor-house; and at an even earlier date than the arrival of the queen and coeval with the most ancient remains of the castle, a great monastery had stood on those cliffs, overlooking the vast ocean that blended with the distant sky. Monkshaven itself was built by the side of the Dee, just where the river falls into the German Ocean. The principal street of the town ran parallel to the stream, and smaller lanes branched out of this, and straggled up the sides of the steep hill, between which and the river the houses were pent in. There was a bridge across the Dee, and consequently a Bridge Street running at right angles to the High Street; and on the south side of the stream there were a few houses of more pretension, around which lay gardens and fields.
