The Church of Ireland Refugee Working Groups have produced an updated resource highlighting opportunities to become more involved in supporting asylum seekers and refugees.

Initiatives by a number of churches in Connor Diocese are included.

examples of the Church’s current and past responses to the refugee crisis;

how members of the Church can offer support for asylum seekers and refugees;

definitions, statistics and processes for asylum and refugee resettlement; and

responses by associated missionary societies and ecumenical networks.

A growing number of parishes and cathedrals across the island of Ireland are working with and supporting asylum seekers and refugees in their communities.

The Church – at several levels – also responds through financial appeals, working with other organisations at home and abroad, and overseas visits to encourage people who have been displaced and are living away from their homes.
