FROM CARITAS: Love the Stranger and the Illegal Migration Act. In response to the passing of the Illegal Migration Bill in Parliament in July Bishop Paul McAleenan, the lead Bishop for Migrants and Refugees, has stated “This legislation stands at odds with the teaching of the church on welcoming, protecting, promoting and integrating refugees.” The Love the Stranger publication from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales provides a Catholic response to migrants and refugees and can be found at tinyurl.com/CSAN2023 as is the accompanying Call to Action document from the national Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN). Caritas Shrewsbury as a CSAN member is supporting diocesan study and action in response to Love the Stranger and the Call to Action. Please get in touch with them if you can help speak up about this issue – Telephone: 0151 652 1281; Mobile: 07824 329 344; Email: ben.gilchrist@caritasshrewsbury.org.uk CSAN’s update on this topic including links to the documents can be found at https://tinyurl.com/CSAN2023
