Strangers and Guests: Toward Community in the Heartland

By August 29, 2018May 16th, 2021No Comments

In May of 1980, Catholic bishops from eleven Midwestern and Plains states issued a regional statement on land issues called “Strangers and Guests: Toward Community in the Heartland.”

The bishops who signed and issued the statement on May 1, 1980 represented Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

We noticed that the statement was difficult to find online, so for historical purposes we scanned it and put it up here on the Iowa Catholic Conference website.
