We Stand Together With Refugees

Migration, whether voluntary or forced, appears in political discussions time and again. As a church we approach the question of migration first and foremost with the understanding that we are all children of God. We highlight the ongoing plight of refugees and displaced people affirming a human response to the crisis. We emphasise the importance of treating people with decency whatever our immigration policy. We call for a fairer and more compassionate asylum system, an end to the hostile environment policies, for a humane approach to those seeking sanctuary, and for asylum seekers to have the right to work.
