Living in a World of Neighbours

""People on the move are often seen as problems. This book challenges us to reframe our vision through a hopeful lens, seeing 'strangers' as 'neighbours.' It combines activists' experiences, theological insights, and academic analysis to illuminate how faith actors and an interfaith approach are not only inspiring but also instructive for informing public policy. The book tells a new story for Europe and encourages us to persevere in shaping a better future for our world."" --Sivin Kit, Director for Theology, Mission, and Justice, Lutheran World Federation ""This thought-provoking book offers a bold vision of a future where the concept of 'migration' no longer divides us. Rather, we are all recognized as neighbours. What makes this vision even more powerful is that it is brought to life through the actions of a diverse network of multi-faith actors, all committed to practicing what it means to be good neighbours. This book is a compelling reminder of the possibilities of a kinder world that begins with connections established at the local and personal level."" --Rose Cuison-Villazor, Professor of Law, Rutgers University ""Based on their thorough and inspiring mapping of the field, Ryszard Bobrowicz, Anna Hjälm, and Ulrich Schmiedel succeed in connecting relevant theological reflection and insights with the grassroots practices of different faith actors. Under the programmatic title Living in A World of Neighbours, they offer a fascinating panorama of theory and practices--showing how faith can be an important source and resource for making this 'living as neighbours' a success and enrichment. This book is a must-read for all interested in faith(s) and refugee relief."" --Torsten Moritz, General Secretary, Churches Commission for Migrants in Europe
