The class was lead by seminarian, Karen Sawyer.
We began with a discussion of our Lenten disciplines and Karen challenged us to to examine what symbol we have that reminds us of God's creation.
Karen then read the story of the covenant made between God and Noah, and compared the U.S. Constitution to a covenant. If it is, then what does it is really mean when something is deemed "unconstitutional"? Is it political posturing or is it really a violation of a covenant? Our discussion then moved to the issue of immigration and what the Christian response should be to the issue and solutions. As a country created by immigrants, what is the American response? Jesus welcomed the stranger. What do Christians do now?
