Central Baptist Church's affiliation with the Philadelphia New Sanctuary Movement is a renewal of CBC's prophetic engagement in the original Sanctuary Movement, declared in a congregational vote in 1984. This reaffirmation today of our historic commitment is grounded in our congregation's vision of “justice rooted in spirituality” and “making a difference in community.”-Congregational Meeting April 25th, 2010.

Added note -- Our first film was preceded by a Reform Immigration for America rally for
our Congressional district.  We had nearly 60 people from 7 faith
communities, 2 universities, a labor union, and other community groups.  We
were Haitian-American, Liberian-American, Japanese-American,
Chinese-American, Latino, and Anglo.  The film discussion was rich and
provocative!
