Los Angeles is a global crossroads of migrating communities that
presents a case study of migration, transnationalism, and
interfaith engagement with significant implications for thinking
and practice in other global hubs. This book weaves together
contributions from a group of internationally-recognized scholars
who were brought together for the 2020 Missiology Lectures at
Fuller Theological Seminary, which received funding from the Luce
Foundation. They examine historical waves of migration - European
Protestant, Asian, Latino/a, and Muslim - into Southern California
and use sociological, missiological, and theological methods to
understand the experience of migration and its effects, both on
those who move and those who are already there. The result shows
how migrants are inspired and sustained by faith and spiritual
resources; how migration challenges faith communities about their
identity and attitudes to others; how faith communities in turn
impact the migration landscape through immigrant integration and
public advocacy, and how migration forges new transnational and
global ways of being in community and innovative religious
movements. The contributors put forward a mission theology of
migration and suggest mission practices in response to the
suffering caused by forced migration and the injustices of
immigration systems.
