Established by the World Evangelical Alliance, the two Sundays fall on either side of World Refugee Day and represent an opportunity for local churches, small groups and others to “demonstrate their common concern for the welfare and protection of the world’s forcibly displaced people”. WEA partners and the Refugee Highway Partnership (RHP) have developed a range of resources to help promote and observe the day. This year the theme is based on the words of Jesus “I was a stranger and you welcomed me in” (Matthew 25:35).
