Many American Christians have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can they do that in a way that puts immigrant neighbors first rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture? That's exactly the question Karen Gonzalez explores in Beyond Welcome.A Guatemalan immigrant, Gonzalez draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism can be at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for moving immigrants to the center of the conversation, Gonzalez helps readers grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors. Accessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips readers to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.
