A Christian call after the Capitol storming
A Christian call after the Capitol storming | Tuesday, January 19, 2021
On the first Sunday since a mob of fringe Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, influential Pastor Samuel Rodriguez called on the Church to “repent” for “making the person who occupies the White House” more important than God.
Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and pastor of New Season in Sacramento, California, told his congregation Sunday that America needs to hear a message of repentance.
“We must all repent; even the Church needs to repent. The American nation will be healed when the American Church repents,” he said.

From the inauguration to immigration, Joe Biden plans to release a sweeping immigration legislation on day one of his presidency.
The plan reportedly includes an 8-year path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally, affecting around 11 million people currently living in the country.
It will also expand refugee admissions, end construction on Trump s U.S.-Mexico border wall, and include a plan to re-enforce security at the border with the use of technology. Immigration is an issue important to many in the faith community.
