We believe that the legal protection of religious freedom prohibits the federal government from prosecuting someone helping undocumented immigrants in a way that would otherwise violate federal law. The same is true of an individual offering sanctuary to immigrants seeking asylum: If the person is acting from a firmly held religious belief, then no federal prosecution.
Celebrating 175 years of mission in Christ, we are a diverse community of believers following the Episcopal tradition across our 81-county diocese spanning nearly 70,000 square miles in the central, eastern, and northern regions of Texas. Founded in 1838, we are more than 450 active clergy-strong with 174 congregations, approximately 70 missional communities, 27 campus missions, chaplaincies, foundations, institutions, and over 77,000 parishioners.
