Finding Faith: Time to be a neighbor to Somalis, and the marginalized

A local pastor urged people to reach out to Somali neighbors after he said the president called them `garbage` in a state home to as many as 84,000 people of Somali descent.
The pastor argued the president's remark has no basis in Christianity and is immoral, urging people of faith to take action as followers of Jesus would.
Beyond online denunciations, the local pastor urged social media users and congregants to embrace Somali neighbors, invite them to break bread, and ask how faith communities can help.
As the dispute continues, faith leaders urge turning rage into action to support Somali and other neighbors of color amid the ongoing controversy.
Given the Advent period, the local pastor warned the insult affects a state with 84,000 Somali-descent residents, urging faith communities to support neighbors.
