In a blog post published by Faith Today, CPJ’s refugee and migrant rights policy officer, Rena Namago, shares some reflections on the role that Canadian churches have had, and continue to have for refugee rights in Canada.
“Just as the global church community has historically advocated for people marginalized by society, Canadian churches also have a rich tradition of advocacy for refugee rights, partnering with the government to welcome refugees and resisting laws and policies that have undermined the rights of refugees.”
“Amid rising anti-refugee and migrant rhetoric and drastic cuts – not only to immigration levels, but crucial settlement services – may the Canadian Church continue its faithful and historic witness by building communities of hospitality, justice and mutual flourishing with all our neighbours.”
