Jemar Tisby’s Jesus Was a Migrant Documentary Screening and Discussion

On August 18 at 6:00 PM, Christ Church Cathedral and St. Bartholomew’s present a screening of Dr. Jemar Tisby’s new documentary, Jesus Was a Migrant, exploring the theological crisis of the treatment of immigrants in the United States. The screening will be followed by a discussion, and childcare is available. Please sign up here so we can have a headcount if you would like to attend! Free parking will be available in the Cathedral lot for those with a green tag, and next door at the Holiday Inn lot with no validation needed. Additionally, we need volunteers to help set up, tear down, greet, manage parking, and provide light refreshments. View the volunteer roles and sign up here!

More information about Jesus Was a Migrant:

Dr. Jemar Tisby travels to the U.S.-Mexico border to examine the theological crisis at the heart of American Christianity — and what it means when a nation built on faith turns its back on the most vulnerable. A documentary about borders, belief, and what we owe each other.

Further opportunities for engagement:

On August 28-30, Woodmont Hills Church in Nashville will be hosting Dr. Tisby for A Way Forward: Hope in Uncertain times, a free three-day event designed to provide hope, community, and actionable steps and a counter-voice to white Christian nationalism. Additional speakers include Shane Claiborne, community leaders Justin J. Pearson, Kelli X, Dr. Amy Steele, Rev. Yuri Rodriguez-Laureani, and Terry O’Neill.
