Faith and Frontiers - Christian Responses to the Migration Crisis
Saturday 18 February 2023
This conference has been rescheduled and was originally to be held in September 2022
This conference will explore the challenges to policy and practice that arise when people cross borders to seek sanctuary. Specifically, it addresses the question of what the Christian response to those who seek care and shelter in our country should be, and asks what insights can be derived from the life and work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
