WEBINAR | Theology in Migration
Webinar Leaders:
- Dr. Nancy Bedford, Georgia Harkness Professor of Applied Theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
- Ms. Maria Alejandra Salazar, Master of Divinity student at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
Webinar Description:
In this presentation we will touch upon how we can be a “people of God in migration” that do a “theology in migration.” On the one hand, such a “theology in migration” takes seriously the material reality and experiences of migrants, including their contributions in helping all of us (regardless of migratory status) know God more deeply. On the other hand, a “theology in migration” refers to a theology (and a faith practice) that is flexible, able to move, and willing to adapt to new realities and challenges: in this sense as followers of Jesus, we all, by definition, are learning how best to be “on the move.” How might a “theology in migration” along these lines help us discern how faithfully to respond to recent events in this country, including the policy decisions at the highest levels that target asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants?
