Evangelical leaders are asking for compassionate immigration talk.
About a dozen religious leaders are calling on Arizona's elected officials and community leaders to turn what they call a fear-based immigration debate into a more compassionate dialog.
The mostly evangelical leaders addressed a letter to top politicians in the state urging them to seek out and enact tangible solutions to the nation's immigration woes.
Gary Kinnaman, pastor at large of a 6,000-member church in Mesa, says no one is illegal in the eyes of God.
He says while the faith leaders are not advocating a specific plan to address illegal immigration, they do support discussing a path to citizenship for the nation's 12 million illegal immigrants.
He says the result of the current debate is a terrified group of immigrants living in the shadows of their communities.

So how many of you think this has something to do with the low attendance at church. All the people who swore they would never step foot in another church again after so many priest child molesters were outted and the facts came out on how the church did all they could to hide these child molesters. Is this is lame attempt to gain more membership?
