On Sunday we marked Refugee Week, hearing from Tracy on Refugee Sunday.

We heard about the history of migration in The Old Testament and God's call to love our neighbours from other countries. Tracy combined her theological understanding with her experience as a foster carer for Unaccompanied Asylum Seekers.

We heard from Sarah a couple of weeks ago who is a part of The Green Bear Group. Sarah worked through verses in The Bible to help us understand a theology of God's intention for the Kosmos and how this informs our response to the environment.
