What is the role of the church in a time of mass migration, detention, and deportation?

Join McCormick Theological Seminary for Episode 2 of Back Talk, a bold monthly livestream series hosted by President Dr. Maisha Handy. This edition features theologian, pastor, and global justice advocate Dr. Reginaldo Braga Jr., whose ministry spans Brazil and the United States.

Together, they’ll explore:

• The church’s responsibility in responding to forced migration and deportation

• What sanctuary and solidarity look like beyond charity or headlines

• How theological education must evolve to meet a world shaped by trauma, movement, and diversity

• What it truly means to be a body of believers in a time of separation and fear

This powerful conversation will include live audience Q&A. All are welcome.
