Letter in Support of Immigrants and Refugees

Letter from Faith Leaders in Support of Immigrants and Refugees in Cary

Hospitality to the stranger is a central tenet of our sacred texts. It is an act of self-giving, welcome, and kindness. In the face of political rhetoric and actions that capitalize on fear to hide the human face of refugees, immigrants, and travelers from Muslim-majority countries, we—as clergy and faith leaders in the Town of Cary, NC—recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of loving our neighbors near and far.

We have, each in our own way, failed to live up to that vision. Despite our shortcomings, the presence of migrants and refugees has enriched our communities. We have been strengthened by their courage and character and thereby challenged to grow closer to one another.

Our refugee and migrant neighbors remind us that we are all sojourners in this land. In our sacred texts, it is worth remembering that the first recipients of unmerited hospitality are not nameless others, but each of us: in gratitude, we merely extend God’s hospitality to others.

God’s welcome is not liable to partisan claims, and it is our hope and prayer to be faithful witnesses in these divisive times. Today, we make the declaration that we will stand in solidarity with immigrant and refugee communities and commit ourselves to radical hospitality.

Nextdoor Instructions

Thank you for agreeing to publicize Lobster Fest on Nextdoor. Here are a few things we’re asking:

  1. Please post this as an Event.
  2. Under “Choose Neighbors,” select Yours and Nearby
  3. For Category, choose Festival. Title is “Lobster Fest Cary“.
  4. Cut and paste this description, please:

Lobster Fest Cary brings the fresh taste of Maine lobster right here to Wake County! The lobsters are pulled out of the water, packed in a cooler truck in Maine and driven overnight to Cary. Dine-In and enjoy a social event or Take Out and make your own event – Live Lobster, Cooked Lobster, Lobster Rolls – you decide! Pre-ordering online (lobsterfestcary.org) is a must, as quantities often run out early in the day, and we hate to disappoint Lobster Lovers.
