from Love the stranger
“A guest always comes with a very sharp pocket knife”.Dr. Harvey Kwiyani - Director of the Acts 11 Project: Centre for Global Witness and Human Migration at Church Mission Society, Oxford - draws on this ancient southern Malawian proverb to argue that our posture dictates whether we interpret our guests as bringing fresh understanding, which can be put to good use - or as having harmful intentions.He says that there are certain conversations, which, if we get them right here, in the UK, it becomes easier to share them as a gift to the world. He and Emily unpack how Christian hospitality has become inescapably intertwined with the politics of migration, and explore the crossover between discussions on racial justice and those surrounding forced displacement.Visit www.welcomechurches.org to find out more about us.
