Faith and displacement (Forced Migration Review 48)

FMR 48 - From the Editors

An introductory note on FMR 48, 'Faith and Responses to Displacement', from the Editors.

FMR 48 - Religious leaders unite to disarm hearts and minds

In the Central African Republic, where religion has been used as a tool to divide and manipulate the population, religious leaders have come together to promote tolerance and forgiveness as a basis for rebuilding peaceful cohabitation.

FMR 48 - Local faith actors and protection in complex and insecure environments

Faith leaders, faith-based organisations and local faith communities play a major role in the protection of people affected by conflict, disaster and displacement. Humanitarians, however, have only recently begun to fully appreciate their protection work.

FMR 48 - The value of accompaniment

Friendship and compassionate companionship with the most vulnerable provide a powerful type of humanitarian service giving priority to personal accompaniment.

FMR 48 - How local faith communities can aid asylum seekers

Local faith communities are able to offer assistance to asylum seekers in ways that faith-based organisations, constrained by eligibility criteria, are not.

FMR 48 - The role of religion in the formation of cross-community relationships

Spiritual life is a priority in many conflict-affected communities. It is rarely prioritised by aid agencies, yet may be central to the formation and maintaining of strong and effective cross-community relationships.

FMR 48 - The contribution of FBOs working with the displaced

Faith-based organisations take from their religious traditions both strong motivations & access to a long history of thinking concerning social and political issues. This can make them ideally placed to fill the gaps in the implementation of human rights

FMR 48 - Faith and the secular: tensions in realising humanitarian principles

There is good reason to engage faith-based organisations and local faith communities in humanitarian response but doing so raises challenging issues for the interpretation of humanitarian principles in what some see as a post-secular age.

FMR 48 - Faith motivation and effectiveness: a Catholic experience

CAFOD’s ability to partner with other FBOs and communities brings significant advantages for its work with displaced people. However, modern-day humanitarianism does not always sit comfortably alongside some of the practices of the major religions.

FMR 48 - The dignity of the human person

Catholic Social Teaching’s emphasis on the dignity of the human person is a lens that Catholic institutions use to evaluate how we as a global society enhance or threaten the dignity of the human person, especially the most vulnerable of people.
