Mapping Migration, 4th edition

This copublication between the WCC and the Churches’ Commission for Migrants in Europe documents the evolving role of faith communities as they navigate the complex realities of migration. These essays, case studies, data sets, and maps come from churches' experiences as they encounter migrants and wrestle with what welcome and solidarity demand in practice. Migrants from within Europe and from beyond are actively shaping the European landscape. This edition begins with broad themes in migration and then moves into thinking theologically about migration. Case studies highlight Christian unity, diakonia, and advocacy. It is intended as a resource for church leaders and practitioners who seek to understand and respond faithfully to migration in their contexts, and as an invitation to listen to voices from the churches, in the hope that they inspire a response of welcome, embrace, or advocacy in local churches.
