Gordon Lynch: Remembering Child Migration
The Bible reminds us, “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world” (James 1:27 New Revised International Version). How are we to assess the religious schemes that separated families and created orphans systematically? Do we have the courage to bring to light the defiled and stained side of our humanitarian schemes? How should our churches and charities engage with the moral cultures of our society? This volume provides the framework in responding to these questions.
