Immigration Update: Roadmap to Citizenship
The United States Senate is engaged in marking S. 744, "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act". A coalition of faith-based organizations is coordinating advocacy for family unity and immigration inclusion in society. The Interfaith Immigration Coalition includes representatives from most of the member bodies of the Florida Council of Churches. Alerts are released on regular basis for individuals to be able to speak to the issue of the day as the legislative process unfolds. Please visit IIC for more information. Use the button below.
The Council also collaborates with the Florida Immigration Coalition which is organizing prayer vigils, rallies and in-district visits elected officials. FLIC is particularly concerned to address the continuing deportation of immigrants which separates families, often leaving children without parents. Please use the FLIC button to learn more..

As one in Christ, one in the world
The Florida Council is a catalyst for realizing the unity which Christ has given the Church, a unity that leads to solidarity with all of humanity.
