Description
Summary:This article sets out the initial coordinates for a decolonial theology of migration that draws on the experience, narratives and world view derived from the experience of individuals and peoples who migrate in search of a full life when, in the context of global violence, they suffer forced displacements. This gives rise to an "ecclesiology of the communal" as an expression of cognitive and spiritual resistance on the part of migrant individuals and peoples who, through their fight for life, are members of the Messiah's queer body and a sign of kairological and anti-system anticipation of redemption.
