"Who Is My Neighbor?" DVD Curriculum

Order your copy today!

CIRC is a proud co-sponsor and partner of this exciting new Sunday School DVD curriculum resource! On the DVD you will find four one-hour sessions, with segments of filmed interviews and actual facts and figures on immigration interspersed with class activities and discussion. The curriculum is scripture/faith based. This is an outstanding, professionally filmed with solid theology, piece that does not require extensive previous knowledge on the part of the leader.

As the lead sponsor of the DVD Curricululm, Colorado Council of Churches, says: "It helps us to bring into tension our role as a U.S. citizen and our faith view point on this issue of immigration as faithful followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, the greatest commandment is to love God and the second is to love our neighbor. When asked, 'Who is our neighbor?', he responded with the parable of the good Samaritan making the outsider Samaritan the hero of the story. He basically was saying, 'If you have to ask, 'Who is my neighbor?', then your neighborhood is too small.' For we who call ourselves Christian, what ever stance we take on immigration issues, we must take our position through the faith filter, 'Does this stance reflect my love of neighbor?' "

The DVD curriculum sessions are:
* We are all strangers in the land of Egypt
* What does the Lord require of you?
* Perfect love casts out fear* The Good Samaritan: Who is my neighbor?
