This week on Just Neighbors, it’s an honor to welcome Dr. Krish Kandiah, founder of The Sanctuary Foundation, a charity supporting refugees to find welcome, work, and worthwhile housing in the UK. Krish is a social entrepreneur, broadcaster, speaker, development consultant, and author. His mission is to help solve some of society’s seemingly intractable problems through partnerships across civil society, faith communities, government, and philanthropy.
When we hear of those seeking refuge, many of us rightfully think of images from war-torn countries where people are experiencing extreme injustice. Today, Krish helps us understand the important work they are doing, the largest challenges he sees for people who are removed from their home, and how Christ followers should respond to the complex conflicts happening across our world. Beyond that, he guides us in seeing that displacement is happening all around us, as children are placed in foster care, people who move to a new city for their jobs, and people feel like they don’t belong.
For each of us, what remains the same is our biblical responsibility to offer hospitality to others, combine word and action in our response to injustice, and provide belonging.
