NNPCW seeks social justice in the Borderlands

BorderLinks was co-founded by the Moderator of the 216th General Assembly Rick Ufford-Chase in 1987 in an effort to educate those who seek justice in the borderlands between Mexico and the United States. BorderLinks programs focus on cross-border relationship-building opportunities, issues of immigration, community formation and development, and social justice.

The NNPCW delegation with BorderLinks will have a specific emphasis on women’s issues and theological reflection. Learn more and find out how you can get involved.

Away from my home church for most of the year, I don’t have the base of support that I used to. My faith in the Trinity is not one that I share with many at my college. I was lost in a sea of intellectuals without organized religion, not knowing how, where or when to express my faith. I didn’t find the place, time and manner to do so. They found me. Keep reading.
