Dr Jonathan Downie on Nostr: I have literally just submitted a book that tells churches not to treat migrant ...
I have literally just submitted a book that tells churches not to treat migrant ministry as something they do for "poor, unfortunate migrants", as it makes things worse. Today, I came across an article with case studies of churches doing just that and guess what? It made things worse.
Sometimes I don't want to be right.
If you are interested in better models than paternalism, my new book is out in the summer.
