"I was a stranger and you welcomed me..." People are fleeing and migrating between states on all continents. What are the causes of migration and flight? How is this being addressed socially and (pastoral) theologically in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America under sometimes precarious conditions? What situation do migrants and refugees find themselves in worldwide? What social ethical questions does this phenomenon raise? How is pastoral care responding to this, and how is the church facing this challenge? Twenty-one international authors provide answers with analyses and experiences from their regions. The book places the European situation on an equal footing with the global context of flight and migration. It objectifies the discourse and offers concepts for constructively dealing with flight and migration - not only within the church.
