The Christian Perspective on Dealing with Refugees and Asylum Seekers


Listen Later

This article explores the Christian perspective on refugees and asylum seekers by examining biblical examples and principles. It contrasts this perspective with contemporary government policies that emphasise #bordersecurity. Key biblical narratives, including #JosephandMary's flight to #Egypt, the #Exodus of the #Israelites, #Ruth’s migration to #Bethlehem, #Elijah’s retreat to #Zarephath, and the early #ChristianDiaspora, provide insights into a Christian response characterised by #compassion, #hospitality, and #justice.
