This is the introduction from Searching for Home, a new book of reflections and study notes for Advent which explores the experiences of modern day refugees alongside those of Mary, Joseph and their baby as they were forced to run in the night from soldiers who were coming to kill. It’s published by SPCK as a York Notes course and is available right now in a Kindle edition with a film to accompany it, in which I discuss these issues with Grmalem, a young man who was forced to flee his home in Eritrea, Bridget Chapman, an activist who works with refugees and Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Bishop of Dover. #SearchingForHome #refugees #refugeecrisis #home #welcome #refugeeswelcome #faith #spirituality #hope
