The fifth guiding principle of our document Love the Stranger
We ask our own government to help other countries address the factors that drive people from their homelands, including through the provision of a just aid budget, control of the arms trade, promotion of human rights and action to tackle the climate emergency
So we pray, we pray for our politicians that their decisions may be guided by compassion and that they may recognise the need to tackle the reasons why people leave their homelands.
Lord in your mercy hear our prayer
