The concept of sanctuary has historical roots, but it isn't legally supported. Faith communities and other nonprofits should investigate the potential risks they can assume before joining the Sanctuary Movement. Dallin Lykins of Lewis & Kappes in Indianapolis explains sanctuary, the history of sanctuary, what providing sanctuary means, what it doesn't mean, and some considerations to keep in mind before becoming a sanctuary congregation.
