Description
Summary:When confronting popular notions that treat migration as a crisis, there is an impulse to offer a theologically proper response. The discussion in this chapter centers on the question: which new questions may arise upon a critical engagement with hospitality theologies when applied for migration dynamics from the perspective of faithful connections? Four theologians each contribute to the discussion from their own area of experience and expertise. Amy Casteel, brings in the perspective of pastoral work among refugee communities in the United States along with her research focuses on lived religion among adolescents who have migrated to Europe. Néstor Medina offered a view from his research in ethics and liberation and post/decolonial theological debates, and experience as an immigrant himself in the North American context. From a missiological perspective, Dorottya Nagy brought her insights out of her research and experience on migration in/to Europe. Starting from decolonial theology, thinking about migration from the standpoint of heterotopic spaces, Kaia Rønsdal offered a view on migration from borderlands, particularly of Northern Europe. Throughout this chapter, quotations from the transcript of that panel are identified with the name of the speaker in the text and noted as (panel 2021).
