Welcoming the Refugee: Religious Norms for Humanitarian Aid in Troubled Times
From Event

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

Most religious traditions include textual teachings and normative ethical imperatives to welcome the refugee and provide humanitarian aid to the vulnerable stranger and displaced neighbor. These religious norms correlate to secular theoretical arguments about mutual reciprocity and positive moral duties to render aid to the refugee. Yet moral responses to refugees and displaced persons are under threat from both within religious communities and from political discourse, particularly in the United States and Europe.
