Abstract

This thesis seeks to study the ministry of the church to undocumented immigrants in the USA in the context of the Brazilian community in the greater Boston area. Various issues involved in the topic of immigration are considered in order to provide the reader with a substantive amount of needed variables, which contribute to the formation of the complexity that is characteristic of this theme, with the goal of taking a better informed position. Using Dr. Eldin Villafañe's 'Hermeneutical Circle,' this document starts with a clarification of the problem, mining information from observations, experience and written materials. It progresses to a conceptualization of the issue, presented by a literature review, a theology of urban ministry applied to immigration, and the proposal of a strategy for church implementation.
