Riassunto

Mapping Migration, Mapping Churches' Responses in Europe

The 2008 edition of the Mapping Migration, Mapping Churches’ Responses – Europe Study was a ground-breaking study of the phenomenon of migration and engagement with migrants by churches in Europe.

This revised and updated second edition provides a more coherent discussion of the patterns of churches’ engagement with migrants and refugees in Europe, focused around the three themes of belonging, community, and integration. This shapes our discussion of migration as a phenomenon, of migration in sociological perspective, and of migration in theological perspective. Continuing with these themes, we allow them to shape our presentation of demographic and infographic data and responses received from churches in Europe to a research questionnaire commissioned especially for this edition.

A final Appendix concludes with the more recent and significant joint statements in which the Churches' Commission for Migrants in Europe has been a partner or initiator.

With newly updated bibliographical resources, this volume is still the only work that provides a comprehensive account of churches' responses to migration in Europe.
