The Presbyterian Church (USA) has voted to become what it calls a “Sanctuary and Accompaniment Church,” which will involve assisting and supporting immigrants to the United States, regardless of legal status.

At the 225th PC(USA) General Assembly earlier this week, the largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States approved IMM-06 in a vote of 340-25.

“We do hereby declare the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to be a ‘Sanctuary and Accompaniment Church’ that supports and encourages its congregations, mid councils, and members to support immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and their children, and to resist efforts by the government to separate families,” read the overture.
