There are currently more people displaced in the world than any other time in history (OXFAM, 2016). Christian responses to welcoming and providing assistance in the resettlement process are often rooted in biblical commands to care for and welcome the stranger. Biblical calls to love one another (Luke 10:27), care for and welcome the stranger (Matthew 25:35) and treat the stranger as yourself (Leviticus 19:33) form the foundation of Christian understanding and responses to caring for and welcoming immigrants and refugees. Beginning in the post-World War II era, the U.S. has been involved in accepting and resettling refugees who face persecution in their home countries (this will be discussed in more detail below). Christians and other people of faith have been at the center of much of this work. The United States Office of Refugee Resettlement, an office of the Administration for Children and Families, contracts with nine voluntary agencies (VOLAGs) to provide a broad range of services to refugees. Six of these are faith-based organizations (FBOs), including Church World Service, Episcopal Migration Ministries, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, World Relief, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (www.acf.hhs.gov). Through these FBOs, Christians and other people of faith have been at the center of much of the resettlement efforts in the United States (see Eby et al. (2007) for a comprehensive overview of the role of FBOs in refugee resettlement).
