The Church of Ireland’s Refugee Working Groups have published an updated edition of their resource on supporting asylum seekers and refugees in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The 21–page document highlights opportunities to become more involved in this area of ministry and service. It also includes a summary of the Church’s support for asylum seekers and refugees, definitions and statistics, a section on responding to fear, and information on work undertaken by ecumenical networks and associated missionary societies. The resource is available online here.
