pleased to see this statement from my org in light on recent (but not new!) anti-immigration sentiment. "This is an opportunity to lead with faith, to counter fear with compassion and to demonstrate a gospel-shaped response that embraces hospitality above hostility." tinyurl.com/t9jwpuf3

utterly depressing and deeply concerning from Kier Starmer, but also unsurprising. how fitting it is to be attending our Acts 11 project seminar with Prof Esther Mombo on migration and the meaningful role that African migrants play in shaping and revitalising Christianity in the UK today!
