Selected resources for learning more about the immigration issue -- Appendix 5. Tools for political advocacy.Immigration is one of the most complicated issues of our time. Voices on all sides argue strongly for action and change. Christians find themselves torn between the desire to uphold laws and the call to minister to the vulnerable. In this book World Relief immigration experts Matthew Soerens and Jenny Yang move beyond the rhetoric to offer a Christian response to immigration. They put a human face on the issue and tell stories of immigrants' experiences in and out of the system. With careful historical understanding and thoughtful policy analysis, they debunk myths and misconceptions about immigration and show the limitations of the current immigration system. Ultimately they point toward immigration reform that is compassionate, sensible, and just as they offer concrete ways for you and your church to welcome and minister to your immigrant neighbors. This revised edition includes new material on refugees and updates in light of changes in political realities.

Jesus, king of strangers : what the Bible really says about immigration / by Hamilton, Mark W.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The reality of migration -- The Bible and the migrant -- Migration as experience and literary theme -- Exodus and exile -- Exodus, exile, and human nature -- The law of the stranger -- The voice of prophecy -- Israel as migrant and host of migrants -- New Testament transformations -- A conclusion for now.Nationalistic tribalism is on the rise around the world. How we treat strangers (foreigners, immigrants, migrants) is a promiƯnent political, economic, and religious issue. Drawing on his personal experiences and expertise as a biblical scholar, Mark Hamilton argues that Scripture describes God|s people as strangers who are called to show grace and hospitality to others. The church has often identified itself as a community of strangers. This was the story of the church during much of its early history. In many parts of the world, it still is. In a world in which 240 million persons are voluntary immigrants and another 60 to 70 million are refugees, the urgency of the church|s recovery of its native language on immigration remains vital. Jesus, King of Strangers examines the Bible|s key ideas about human movement and the relationship between migrants and their hosts. Hamilton argues that reclaiming the biblical language will free the church from hypernationalism and fear-driven demagoguery.
