Becoming Neighbors

What happens when a predominantly white suburban congregation forms a deep bond with an immigrant congregation in the midst of a massive immigration enforcement surge in Chicago? In this episode, Lumunos Director David Fraccaro sits down with Julie Hextell from Winnetka Covenant Church and Pastor Tomas Sanabria from Iglesia del Pacto de Albany Park to discuss their congregation's beautiful and transformative relationship through Lumunos' Becoming Neighbors Congregations program.

Welcome to the Becoming Neighbors podcast, where we talk about what it takes to build bridges across lines of difference in an age of distrust and division in the United States. We specifically highlight the stories and examples of some remarkable local bridge-builders who are leading Becoming Neighbors work in their own communities, congregations, and workplaces - believing that any lasting change in the world must begin with building understanding, trust, and cooperation in our own backyards.
