A Short Video on the History of the Sanctuary Movement

While at the Border, we met with John Fife, one of the seminal pastors in the Sanctuary movement. He's features in this New York Times video on the history of the Sanctuary movement (13 minutes), which compares the movement to the Underground Railroad that shepherded slaves to freedom in the nineteenth century.

Today's Sanctuary movement, which started in the 1980s, has been revived--and the San Jose (California) Presbytery recently declared itself a sanctuary.
