This open access book brings into dialogue emerging and seasoned
migration and religion scholars with spiritual leaders and
representatives of faith-based organizations assisting refugees.
Violent conflicts, social unrest, and other humanitarian crises
around the world have led to growing numbers of people seeking
refuge both in the North and in the South. Migrating and seeking
refuge have always been part and parcel of spiritual development.
However, the current 'refugee crisis' in Europe and elsewhere in
the world has brought to the fore fervent discussions regarding the
role of religion in defining difference, linking the ‘refugee
crisis’ with Islam, and fear of the ‘Other.’ Many religious
institutions, spiritual leaders, and politicians invoke religious
values and call for strict border controls to resolve the
‘refugee crisis.’ However, equally many humanitarian
organizations and refugee advocates use religious values to inform
their call to action to welcome refugees and migrants, provide them
with assistance, and facilitate integration processes. This book
includes three distinct but inter-related parts focusing,
respectively, on politics, values, and discourses mobilized by
religious beliefs; lived experiences of religion, with a particular
emphasis on identity and belonging among various refugee groups;
and faith and faith actors and their responses to forced migration.
