Oh, and adding to the doc drop of last week – I’ll toss in this pastoral letter from Bishop Slattery of Tulsa on immigration, specifically on one piece of proposed legislation in the Oklahoma House.

I can’t remember ever reading such a specific, explicit statement like that in an episcopal pastoral letter in the recent past. Not that I’ve read them all, of course.
