How Should We Respond to Climate Refugees? Part 2
Friday May 03, 2019
Friday May 03, 2019
Chris Doran
Experts propose that there will be between 200 million and 2 billion climate refugees attempting to relocate by the end of the 21st century. The vast majority will likely come from the regions where the world’s great cities are built next to ocean ports, and the tragedy and suffering that is likely to ensue demands a Christian response. The mindful and creative practice of Christian virtues like solidarity, hospitality, courage, and justice will provide hopeful ways for Christians to be the face of Christ to climate refugees wherever they might be.

"Rising Above the Noise to Hear the Voice of Jesus"
Zacchaeus climbed a tree . . . as an adult. In fact, he chose to look undignified among a crowd of people for one purpose: to see Jesus! And Jesus is looking for tree climbers—those who are willing to climb above the noise of the world and allow Jesus to enter their hearts. This session is for those who are not satisfied with a surface level, crowd-based, noisy Christianity, but for people who are willing to enter into a risky encounter with Jesus in order to allow Him to confront them where they are most unChristlike. So, are you ready to climb?

This story is our story, and it’s the story of our church's engagement with immigrants, refugees, and other "strangers." Our calling is not simply to be Jesus to people, but to see Jesus in all people.
