Episode 4 of “Sanctuary” is now available!
Spies in the pews? Criminal informants at Bible study? By the mid 1980s, facing pressure from a coalition of religious and political critics of the movement, the Department of Justice moved forward with a plan to covertly infiltrate sanctuary churches. redcircle.com/shows/a2b3982f…

Amen! And if you want to learn more about how the '80s Sanctuary Movement spawned multiple iterations of faith-based and secular sanctuary practices, check out @ElProfeBarba and my series with @IRMCEorg, Sanctuary: On the Border Between Church and State! redcircle.com/shows/a2b3982f…
Since the folks/campaigns are apparently talking about Sanctuary Cities again, just your regular reminder that — as I note in American Prophets — the entire concept was actually a faith-based effort, and was itself an outgrowth of the original faith-led Sanctuary Movement.
