First Unitarian Church of Victoria Refugee Committee “Refugee Resettlement: Unitarian Principles at Work”
Our Unitarian principles lead us to work for social justice in many ways. One way is to sponsor refugees fleeing war and destruction in their former homeland. Members of the First Unitarian Church of Victoria’s Refugee Resettlement Committee, of which Capital’s Colin Nelson is a member, will describe their recent experiences sponsoring refugees from Syria. Inshallah, one of the people we’ve sponsored will tell of his own experiences, and will talk about the difficult plight of his parents and brother, who fled their home for refuge in Jordan, and whom we hope to sponsor next year. We will also acknowledge and thank members of Capital, without whose donations and support the resettlement efforts would not have been possible.
