About the Event
Since WWII, forced displacement has been at its highest: more than 65 million people and over 22 million refugees were displaced worldwide.
“The Kingdom of God is to be built with them [migrants] for without them it would not be the kingdom God wants.”-Pope Francis
You are invited to a forum to consider our future in the company of immigrants, refugees, welcomers, advocates, and questioners of all kinds.
