Border Bishops Seek Improved Conditions at U.S.-Mexico Border

The 11 bishops who serve in the six Episcopal dioceses in Texas and New Mexico have released an emotional appeal calling for the end of “the inhumane conditions at our country’s borders.”

We write to decry the conditions in detention centers at our border because we are Christians, and Jesus is unequivocal. We are to pray without ceasing for everyone involved — refugees, elected officials, and law enforcement — while also advocating for the humane treatment of the human beings crowding our border as they flee the terror and violence of their home countries.

Read the rest, including the names of the dioceses and bishops.
