| Resumo: | Constructing theological resources is a crucial task in the current context of refugee crises to support the refugees in distress as well as to encourage Christians to come forward, protect and welcome them, and persuade states to do so. One way of doing this is to bring the reality of migration to the centre of theological reflection, which can influence the way theologizing is done today. Drawing methodological insights from liberation theologies, a theology of migration will involve interpretation of the foundational beliefs and theological concepts in Christianity in the light of migration, emphasize an active Christian public engagement and enable the rethinking of theology of religions and interreligious dialogue as migrants bring with them multiple religious traditions, identities and worldviews. |
