NEW SERMONS ON IMMIGRATION REFORM TO BE CREATED BY YOU

    When you create new sermons on immigration reform,
send their URLs as well.

    The first sermons linked
are very good as presenting the problems
created by the present laws and practices of the USA.

    What we need next is some specific proposals
for reforming and/or replacing current immigration law.
The problems are well-known.
But what are the solutions?

    Utopian as well as practical kinds of immigration reform are welcome:

1. If everything were ideal on the planet Earth,
what patterns of immigration would we have?

2. Granting that Utopia will never emerge,
what changes might the US Congress and President create?

3. Which modifications will come first?

4. What should we do about the 12 million citizens of other countries
already living in the United States without permission?

5. What principles of amnesty will work better than past systems?

6. How should we select foreign nationals to become new Americans?

7. How many immigrants should the United States accept each year?

8. How should non-traditional family-relationships be recognized?

9. Granting that votes from both major political parties
will be needed to pass any immigration reform,
which reforms are most likely to become law?

10. Which changes will be most acceptable
to people initially opposed to any immigration reform?

11. How shall we deal with different solutions
offered within the Unitarian Universalist movement?

12. What place does civil disobedience have
in the immigration-reform movement?

13. How can we BE the CHANGE we want to see?

14. Should our congregation sponsor an immigrant family?

CYBER-SERMON REGISTRY

    If you already have a set of sermons on the Internet,
your list can be linked from here:

http://www.tc.umn.edu/~parkx032/Y-SERNET.html

This listing already links more than 10,000 UU sermons.

    Because it is impractical for anyone to read all these sermons,
hence the effort to create listings by SUBJECTS,
such as this list of sermons on immigration reform.

    About 80 other Library of Congress subject-headings are used here:

http://www.tc.umn.edu/~parkx032/LC-SUB.html

Yours,
James Leonard Park,
webmaster for the Cyber-Sermon Registry:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~parkx032/CySerReg.html

PS: The Cyber-Sermon Registry is still
the first listing you get
when searching Google for "UU sermons".
If your congregation has sermons on its website,
and your sermon-list is not yet linked,
follow the instructions on that website.
