‘Stop the Boats’ was splattered across our headlines at the beginning of this year as the UK prime minister presented one of his pledges to the government. Then, this month we saw the unveiling of the government’s proposed legislation to supposedly meet that pledge. For the first time since the slave trade was abolished, this legislation represents a reduction in rights for those trafficked into slavery.
Join Jo as she discusses the Illegal Migration Bill. As followers of Jesus, how can we engage? Behind the political slogans and complex legislation are people, made in the image of God. When we ground ourselves in the story of God, we enter a story that speaks of the denying of justice to any human as equal to denying the nature of God.
