Pastor Doug Avilesbernal, son of immigrants, shares his thoughts on why humanity needs to move from tolerance to solidarity. Tolerance is the beginning of the end. What we need to focus on is to walk alongside others and become solidarity activists.

Pastor Doug is currently head pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Norristown and serves in various boards including the Montgomery County Behavioral health/Developmental Disabilities Board. His upbringing and life experiences have come together to help him be a bridge between two different worlds with many different cultures, and various languages. He has worked at one of our American Baptist Churches camps in NJ as well as several years in leadership with the Xtreme Team, a cross cultural program that has taken him to places as far away geographically and culturally as South Africa and Mexico. His speaking engagements have taken him to four continents and various States including NJ at Princeton Theological Seminary. A popular speaker and published author, he most recently published his newest book, Welcoming Community: Diversity that Works. He holds a BA in music from New Jersey City University and a Masters in Divinity from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Took me only 5 seconds to hear the magic word!

Whether one is tolerated depends on whether one enters a nation legally or illegally. It's no longer the old world of entering borders illegally just because one feels like it. Only Western nations are expected to tolerate copious immigration, including illegal immigration. We know that if such immigration took place in non-Western nations, there would be hostile reactions. So don't expect the West to tolerate what non-Western nations would not. Note that the vast majority tolerate legal immigration.
