Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service is a non-profit organization that welcomes and supports refugees and migrants. It is one of nine refugee resettlement agencies working with the Office of Refugee Resettlement and one of only two that serves unaccompanied refugee minors. LIRS also advocates for just policies and practices relating to immigration and detention. As an organization, LIRS originates from the response of American Lutherans in 1939 to the needs of Europeans displaced because of World War II,〔Solberg, Richard W. Open Doors the Story of Lutherans Resettling Refugees. St. Louis, MO: Concordia Pub. House, 1992. Print.〕 however, the roots of the organization reach back to the 1860s when the New York Ministerium and the Pennsylvania Synod joined together to help and protect Lutheran immigrants in the US.〔Bouman, Stephen Paul., and Ralston H. Deffenbaugh. They Are Us: Lutherans and Immigration. Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress, 2009. Print.〕 Since then the organization’s scope has expanded to include any refugees entering the US, support for asylum seekers, and migrants, and services to unaccompanied children (UACs). LIRS continues to be a faith-based organization and maintains relationships with three national Lutheran denominations, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, and Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. == References ==
