Jesus was a Migrant

Wednesday, November 4th, 2026 from 4:00pm to 5:30pm (PT)

About

Join us for a screening of Jesus Was a Migrant.

 

This documentary follows NYT bestselling author and historian Dr. Jemar Tisby to the U.S.-Mexico border to examine the contradiction at the heart of American Christianity: the same faith that compels some to welcome migrants compelled others to shut the door on 270,000 of them.

Jesus Was a Migrant asks the question American Christianity has been avoiding: What does our faith actually require of us?

The screening will be followed by a conversation with Dr. Roberto Mata and Dr. Jaime Wright from the Department of Religious Studies.
