A Perkins School of Theology alum has been appointed as director of the United Methodist Immigration Ministries of South Texas. The Rev. Javier Leyva, a graduate of the 2000 and 2004 Course of Study Schools at Perkins, will begin immediately in the new, full-time position. Of Rev. Leyvas appointment, Bishop James Dorff--bishop of the San Antonio Episcopal Area--wrote: He is the right leader for such a time as this. This appointment is for a six-month period. It is our hope and prayer that the current situation on the border will somehow be resolved or dramatically improved during this time.
