“For a tradition whose founder started out life as a child refugee in a foreign land, who was born in a ‘barn’ because there was ‘no room at the inn’ and grew up as a displaced person in a village a long way from the family homestead, Christianity should treat refugees like royalty. We often treat them like refuse.”
