Immigration

[close] Group for lovers of self development, immigration

[close] Welcome! In 2016, discussions about the refugee crisis among a group of friends and acquaintances gave wings to the creation of Hearts and Homes for Refugees (www.heartsandhomesforrefugees.org). With an unprecedented number of refugee stories populating bookshelves these days, there are so many more opportunities to learn, to understand the crisis and come to know these stories of need and hope. We can all contribute to these discussions and perhaps in some small way, our dialogue will flow outside our group chats and into our circle of friends and communities. Who knows where these seeds will land grow? We would like to believe that the more informed we are, the more discussions we have, the greater chance of our becoming part of the solution to the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. In 2019, we read one book each month on the topic of refugees, and enjoyed talking about them here with you. We have added many more suggestions to our group "bookshelf" since then, and hope you will enjoy our recommendations.

[close] The Nativity Peace Library Team, through the Social Justice Committee, has created a children and youth library of books that focus on Nativity’s core values of welcome and inclusion and to celebrate diversity among God’s people. It is our hope to provide our young people and their families with tools to help them better understand our history and our diversity as we seek to continue God’s call for us to love one another.
