What is it like to be a refugee? How does a displaced person adapt to a new culture? What can host communities do to enable newcomers and hosts to bond in mutual understanding? Is multi-culturalism the best policy to choose, or are there other possibilities? What happens when asylum - seekers or refugees join a parish or a church congregation? Questions such as these are not confined to any one country. Movements of population, whether because of war or for economic reasons, now occur worldwide. No country can afford to avoid the questions or overlook the opportunities which arise because of the inter-mingling of peoples of different backgrounds.  Migration presents both problems and opportunities worldwide. This book looks at two important sources of hope. It sees hope in the fact that the first generation of Christians were able to reconcile culturally diverse groups. And it seems much of the same dynamic happening in culturally mixed communities today. Instead of either assimilation or multi-culturalism, the writers here advocate a policy of trans-culturalism. This would mean both the host community and immigrants learning to adapt, so as to forge together a hope-filled new future.
