A coalition of both liberal and conservative Evangelical Christians sent a letter to Congress yesterday which urged specific measures to protect young migrants. It was signed by Leith Anderson, the President of the National Association of Evangelicals, Stephan Bauman, the President and CEO of World Relief, Russell D. Moore, President of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Samuel Rodriguez, President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Richard Stearns, President of World Vision U.S., Jim Wallis, President and founder of Sojourners, and many other Christian leaders who are often not on the same page.
