Room at the Inn: A Welcome for the Stranger
Room at the Inn – A Welcome for the Stranger is a leaflet from Belonging Without Boundaries, an ecumenical group supported by the Commission for Christian Unity and Dialogue, to prompt Christians to consider their role in welcoming those who have arrived on this island.
The people of Ireland, its writers note, are no strangers to the migrant experience. As Christians, we have a core belief that we are all made in the image and likeness of God and this respect for the integrity of human life is best displayed in the commandment to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’.
Belonging Without Boundaries promotes truth with compassion towards the building of an inclusive and welcoming society throughout the island of Ireland, and also includes representatives from the Association of Leaders of Missionaries and Religious of Ireland (AMRI), the Methodist Church in Ireland, Crosscare and Dublin City Interfaith Forum.
