Noted Pro-Life speaker to talk
on Immigration: Reform has stalled in Congress, so we have time to think. What
does Scripture say about it? What does the Church say about it? John

pro-life issues, and eugenics for 30 years, will speak about the Catholic
concept of “Hospitality” in Scripture at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, Sept. 24, St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 411 Florence St., Ypsilanti.
John always proves to be a fascinating speaker whose insights surprise and
alter our viewpoint. He seeks to define the core Christian principles that will
guide us in making socio-political decisions. His books on immigration (Sign
of the Crossing and Welcome! Date TBD) are
available on Amazon, along with his other pro-life books. The talk is free, and
all are welcome. For more information, contact Suzanne Abdalla at (734) 483-3360.
