Altar acupuncture: A Minneapolis church brings well-being sessions to its migrant ministry
SUMMARY: A Lutheran church in Minneapolis is taking practical steps to help its mostly Latino immigrant congregation deal with the uncertainty and stress of a Trump administration crackdown. It’s now offering monthly acupuncture and Reiki sessions, right in the sanctuary after Sunday worship. Many faith organizations across the U.S. have been offering legal advice and financial assistance to immigrants in the pews. Now several leaders see a need to provide reassurance and well-being as a growing part of the ministry as President Donald Trump presses ahead with a campaign of mass deportations.
