‘Welcoming The Stranger’ by Dan Green - 7 May 2023

With conflicts and challenges around the world, many people are coming to Bristol to seek sanctuary - how should we respond? Dan Green looks at why this is happening and explores helpful principles from the Bible which can guide us, as well as ways to put these into practice. The talk concludes with a time for prayer and reflection.
