text: Rev. Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, on not taking a position on churches offering sanctuary:  “If they feel they need to protect undocumented immigrants, they’re within their biblical and theological right to do so. But the real preference is immigration reform. Sanctuary churches is a response. It’s not the answer.”
  
  The church as sanctuary is the example to the rest of the nation of the attitude we need to have towards immigration reform.  Such reform will not happen when the appearance is that the most important faith in the U.S., the Christian faith, doesn't believe in immigration reform.  
  
  Reform will come with action, not with just words.  More, reform will not come from deportations but from showing why deportation is wrong.  
  
  I am extremely disappointed in the Catholic Church.  But, then, this sheltered family are Catholics in Philadelphia who did not feel they could turn to their own Church.  I wonder if that bothers Chaput?
