The new Alabama immigration law does have MAJOR concerns

The new Alabama immigration law passed in the last session of our legislature has pleased many by being one of the toughest in the nation and has upset many others.

But there is a MAJOR issue with the law that as passed for churches. Dr. Bob Terry, Editor, The Alabama Baptist, wrote about it in the June 30 edition. Read the article here or read the article and all the paper here.

I spoke last week with persons in our state who "watch" the law very carefully and they acknowledged that what Terry wrote about is true. The law that was passed omitted the part of permitting churches to minister to illegal immigrant without fear of government reprisals.

According to my sources, our Governor has been made aware of our deep concern about this omission and whenever the Senate and House convenes again in regular or special session, an amendment will be provided to change this.

Pray that it happens. Churches, pastors, and Christian people should not have to choose between "God and state" in this nation.
