Today I speak with two historians, Sergio González and Lloyd Barba, who just finished a fantastic series called Sanctuary: On the Border Between Church and State. I had the opportunity to act as the executive producer for the series and will be out soon for Axis Mundi Media, in conjunction with the Institute for Religion, Media, and Civic Engagement.

The story they tell is of a radical civil rights movement that confronted restrictive governmental policies on immigration from the 1980s all the way to the current moment. It's one that will change how you think about immigration, about faith, and the ways that some Americans, at least, have committed to welcoming the stranger and practicing a radical hospitality.
