TAA May: The threats and benefits of human migration

Sunday 11 May 2025

A week ago, Reform UK showed through local elections that fear or resentment of immigration is gaining popularity in this country, as it has already done in some other European countries. Religion should not be guided by political views but it can provide a moral compass for them, so we need to discern God's will regarding our attitude to migration. This Thinking Aloud discussion will offer us an opportunity to share insights into this important subject. Do join us.
