Tonight I took part in a Vigil at Stoke Minster for the Refugee Crisis.

In the face of such suffering, what can we do?

Some actions to think about

1. Prayer
2. Welcome and opposition to the hostility emanating from some places and people.
3. Consideration of how our buildings can be made available as places of welcome, hospitality and home for refugees in the coming weeks and months.
4. Possibilities of fostering refugee children.
5. Financial support via All We Can, Christian Aid and other groups working in the countries from which people are fleeing and in countries at the forefront of the impact of such mass movement of people.
