This document summarizes xenophobic attacks and violence against foreigners in South Africa. It describes incidents where Ethiopians were burned with petrol bombs, a 14-year-old boy was murdered, and Zimbabwean refugees were burned alive in 2008, displacing 100,000 people and killing at least 50. The document also discusses how the South African government's open border policy has led to intolerance towards foreigners. It provides examples of attacks targeting immigrants from Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and other countries. The document suggests that Darwinian evolutionism and Marxism have inspired racist ideologies and that instability in countries like Zimbabwe fuels xenophobia in South Africa by placing strain on limited resources.
Mandela Day and the Making of a New ReligionPeter Hammond
In November 2009 the United Nations General Assembly declared 18 July, "Nelson Mandela International Day"! This they said was "in recognition of the former South African president's contribution to the culture of peace and freedom." The General Assembly Resolution: "recognises Nelson Mandela's values and his dedication to the service of humanity, in the fields of conflict resolution, race relations, the promotion and protection of human rights, reconciliation, gender equality, and the rights of children and other vulnerable groups, as well as the upliftment of poor and undeveloped communities. It acknowledges his contribution to the struggle for democracy internationally and the promotion of a culture of peace throughout the world."
There are some intriguing similarities between the history of the United States of America and that of South Africa.
Shortly after Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Diaz first landed on the shores of South Africa in 1488, the Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas in 1492.
From the 1600s onwards both America and South Africa were settled by pilgrims from Holland, France, England, Scotland and Germany seeking religious freedom.

The current flag of Republic of South Africa was adopted on 27 April 1994, at the beginning of the 1994 general election, to replace the flag that had been used since 1928.
The new national flag, designed by State Herald Frederick Brownell, was chosen to represent the new democracy.
The flag has horizontal bands of red and blue, of equal width, separated by a central green band which splits into a horizontal "Y" shape, the arms of which end at the corners of the hoist side.
The Y embraces a black isosceles triangle from which the arms are separated by narrow yellow bands; the red and blue bands are separated from the green band and its arms by narrow white stripes.
Rectangular flag in the proportion of two in the width to three in the length: per pall from the hoist, the upper band red (chilli) and the lower band blue, with a black triangle at the hoist; over the partition lines a green pall one fifth the width of the flag, fabricated white against the red (chilli) and blue, and gold against the black triangle at the hoist; the width of the pall and its fimbriations is one third the width of the flag.
According to official South African government information, the South African flag is "a synopsis of principal elements of the country's flag history.“
Although different people may attribute personal symbolism to the individual colours or colour combinations, "no universal symbolism should be attached to any of the colours.“
The only symbolism in the flag is the V or Y shape, which can be interpreted as "the convergence of diverse elements within South African society, taking the road ahead in unity".
Three of the colours — black, green and yellow — are found in the flag of the African National Congress.
The other three — red, white and blue — are used in the old Flag of Transvaal, the modern flag of the Netherlands and the flag of the United Kingdom; the colours white and blue were also found in the old flag of South Africa. Former South African President F.W. de Klerk, who proclaimed the new flag on 20 April 1994, stated in his autobiography, The Last Trek: a New Beginning, that chilli red was chosen instead of plain red.
After the Anglo-Boer War from 1899 to 1902 until the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910, the British Union Flag was the national flag in the four British colonies that became South Africa.
As was the case throughout the British Empire, the Red and Blue Ensign were the official flags for merchant and government vessels at sea, and the British Admiralty authorized them to be defaced with the shield of the South African coat of arms.
These ensigns were not intended to be used as the Union's national flag, although they were used by some people as such.
It was only after the first post-Union Afrikaner government took office in 1925 that a bill was introduced in Parliament to introduce a national flag for the Union.
Compromise and cowardice hurts everyone concerned. Cowardice is destructive and short-sighted. In Revelation 21:8, Cowards are at the top of the list of those who will be condemned by God for all eternity - thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Sub-Saharan Africa Post-Independence Starting in t.docxhanneloremccaffery
Sub-Saharan Africa: Post-Independence
Starting in the late 1950s, Sub-Saharan Africans intensified the struggle for independence from their European colonizers, and the
white rulers. So came to Sub-Saharan Africa the process known as
decolonization. Following World War II, the region’s European rulers
came to realization that their control over the colonies could not
continue as usual. Two main forces emerged to challenge the
European domination of Africans. First, challenges came from
African nationalists who wanted something so simple yet so difficult
to realize: Africa for Africans. Second, after World War II, which was
framed as epic battle against undemocratic tyranny of
totalitarianism, Africans began to challenge why the allies could not
uphold the same democratic values in Africa. To many African
nationalists, it was an example of supreme irony that nations that
defeated Nazism and Fascism were doing something Hitler’s
Germany wanted to do in Europe, conquest and exploitation. (The
above is a picture of the founding members of the anti-apartheid
organization later became African National Congress.) They
obviously felt justified in resisting European colonization more aggressively after World War II, which, by the way, destroyed and
weakened European societies.
This decolonization process was relatively peaceful in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and Ivory Coast. However, independence did
not come easily in southern part of Africa. In Rhodesia, a formal British colony, 250,000 white
residents who owned the country’s farmlands refused to let their power and domination pass away
peacefully. Instead of accepting the black majority rule, they
declared Rhodesia independent as a white-supremacist state.
The blacks in turn declared war against the white rulers and
the civil war continued until 1975 when the Rhodesian
government capitulated. So came the birth of Zimbabwe, but
at a heavy human and material cost.
Something similar happened in Angola and Mozambique,
both Portuguese colonies. When Lisbon refused to grant
independence to these countries, people of Angola and
Mozambique turned to guerrilla warfare. The war in Angola
became even more violent, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union turned that civil war into a theater
of their own superpower competition. The Marxist groups within guerrilla movement, supported by the Soviet Union and Cuba,
eventually succeeded in forcing Portugal to leave Angola and Mozambique, and setup leftist governments. The U.S. and South Africa
perceived the leftist governments in Angola and Mozambique as thereat to their interests and financed guerrilla forces seeking to
topple the Marxist government of Angola and Mozambique. The fighting continued
well into the 1980s. The war ended at least in Mozambique due in large part to the
Soviet Union and the U.S. losing interest in it following the end of the cold war. In
Angola, low intensity war drags on, however. .
On June 5, during a rare trip abroad, Aung San Suu Kyi, state counsellor of Myanmar and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, visited Hungary and met Prime Minister Viktor Orban. After the meeting, the Hungarian government released an official statement, saying: "The two leaders highlighted that one of the greatest challenges at present for both countries and their respective regions - Southeast Asia and Europe - is migration. They noted that both regions have seen the emergence of the issue of coexistence with continuously growing Muslim populations."

Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Day after day, week after week now, we see the vile Hamas terrorist supporters acting out in public, screaming, cursing, threatening, blocking, harassing, burning flags, pushing, prodding, and violently attacking others (i.e., Zionists and Jews). In any normal situation, the police would be there protecting the innocent, stopping the harassment, and arresting the violent agitators. But these days, what do we see? The police seem to be doing virtually nothing to stop them.
Without any serious consequences from our law enforcement, courts, or politicians, we can expect things to continue to escalate and get more dangerous.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
Exploring the Mindfulness Understanding Its Benefits.pptxMartaLoveguard
Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves.

5. Murderous Mobs
Two Ethiopians were petrol bombed and a 14 year old
boy murdered in a wave of xenophobic attacks on
foreign nationals in KwaMashu and Umlazi in KwaZulu
over the last 2 weeks.
6. Open
Borders
The Southern
African Migration
Project (SAMP),
reported that one of
the un-anticipated
by-products of the
ANC government's
"open border" policy
has been a growth
in intolerance
towards foreigners.
9. especially after

24. Victimised
The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR), found
that 87% of police officers in the Johannesburg area believed that
most undocumented immigrants are involved in crime.
25. Many refugees, particularly Zimbabweans, report being victimised,
threatened, assaulted and robbed by South African officials.
26. Go Home!
Human Rights Watch reports immigrants from Malawi,
Zimbabwe and Mozambique have been targeted
for physical assault under a campaign known as
Buyelekhaya ("Go back home").

Some of the incidents they reported from 2008
include:
29. Scapegoats
A Mozambican and two Senegalese were thrown out of a moving train
by a group returning from a rally in Alexandra township that
blamed foreigners for unemployment.
30. No Zimbabweans!
Residents in Zandspruit demanded that all Zimbabweans leave their
area and then forcibly evicted them and burned down their homes.
31. “Destructive forces are at work in the city;
threats and lies never leave its streets.” Psalm 55:11
32.

34. No Immigrants!
In Olievenhoutbosch, Zimbabweans were attacked and killed
and their belongings set alight amidst demands by the locals
that police remove all immigrants from the area.

Over 47 Somali refugees were murdered in two months as part of a
campaign to drive Somali traders out of townships in the Western Cape.

Where do these foreign people get this money from?"
47. Jobs for Us – Not for You!
Local people attacked immigrants from Malawi, Zimbabwe , Angola,
Congo, Nigeria, Somalia and Mozambique.
"Because the foreigners are taking away our jobs!"
48. Statistics South Africa Quarterly Labour Force
Survey reports that officially
4.6 million South Africans are unemployed,
25% of the workforce.
52. "The solution is to stop supporting the tyrant Mugabe
who is destroying our country and we will return
to our homes and farms in Zimbabwe."
53. Economic Suicide of Zimbabwe
In 2005, Mugabe launched Operation Murambatsvina ("Drive out the
filth"), which destroyed the homes of over 1.5 million Zimbabweans.
54. This was in retaliation to these areas voting
against the ruling party in the elections.
55. Zimbabwe has committed national suicide by destroying the
commercial farms, which had not only fed the country, but provided the
largest amount of foreign exchange, employed over a million people
and provided homes for more than 2.5 million Zimbabweans.
58. Positive Influence
A major solution to the fierce competition for jobs and services
in South Africa would be to help re-establish stability
and freedom North of the border.
59.
60. In this age of globalisation, the ripple effects of instability
in one country affects its neighbours.

and places ever-increasing strain on the limited infrastructure,
resources and job market.

67. "They promise them freedom, while they
themselves are slaves of depravity…" 2 Peter 2:19
69. However, those who hold to
Darwin’s theory of evolution, have
no objective basis with which to counter racism.
70. In fact, Darwinian evolutionism has inspired a whole host of
racist ideologies and movements, especially communism.
71. The actual title of Darwin’s famous evolutionary book is: “On
The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The
Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.”
73. Karl Marx wanted to dedicate Das Kapital to Charles Darwin and wrote
“Darwin’s book is very important and serves me as a
basis in the natural sciences for the historical class
struggle.” “Violence is the midwife”
74. as Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin so succinctly put it:
“evolution leads to revolution!”
76. Both Darwin and Marx expressed racist views. It is ironic that so many
Russians and Africans have held Marxist and evolutionary beliefs because
Darwin taught that the “advanced races” should “exterminate” the
primitive races in order to speed up evolutionary progress!
77. Karl Marx himself despised the Slavs and Blacks, writing that
they were “frozen at pre-civilisation levels” and would never
make any contribution to history! (Karl Marx – the Racist, 1978;
Understanding The Times, David Noebel, 1991;
Marx and Satan, Richard Wurmbrand).
81. Yet many who speak out vitriolicaly against racism, are themselves
racist, displaying intense antagonism towards people of other races
and advocating policies which discriminate on the basis of race.
83. These are many
of the same
people who would
idolise Martin
Luther King(Jnr),
but who are not
willing to live
by his maxim:
that
people should
be judged by
the content of
their character,
not by the
colour of their
skin.
84. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put
darkness for light and light for darkness… who are wise
in their own eyes… who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent…they have rejected
the Law of the Lord Almighty…” Isaiah 5:20-24
86. Frustrated people are easily manipulated by mesmerizing slogans sold
by murderous hate mongers. One of the easiest ideas to sell anyone
is that he is better than someone else.
87. The holocaust in Rwanda where mobs of Hutus slaughtered
over 800,000 Tutsi Christians, is just one example
of the destructive power of tribalism in Africa in recent years.
More people were killed with machetes in six weeks in Rwanda, than
have been killed by nuclear weapons in all of history.
89. In the month and weeks leading up to the holocaust in Rwanda
the state radio RTLM denigrated all Tutsis as
“foreigners”: “Hamitic invaders”, “cockroaches”, “racist supremacists”;
who needed to be “returned to Ethiopia”
91. Wild rumours were
recklessly spread by
RTLM accusing the
Tutsis of sinister plots.
The MRND
government bluntly
asserted: “every
Batutsi is dishonest”
and “the Bahutu
should stop having
mercy on the Batutsi.”
92. The state media editorialised that the Bible instructs
you to kill snakes and “all Tutsis are snakes!”
94. This fanatical
extremism was not on
the fringes of society,
but was
propagated by
top leaders of the
MRND government
and by the Anglican
and Roman Catholic
hierarchies.
95. Popular poet and songwriter, Simon Bikindi composed songs which
provoked Hutus to hate their Tutsi neighbours. Extremists toured the
country to incite racial hatred against the Tutsi. New terms were
popularized: “clearing the bush” which originally had referred to
clearing land for cultivation, came to mean killing Tutsi’s.
96. “Interahamwe”,
which used to mean
communal work
parties now came to
mean mobs who
would hunt out and
kill the Tutsi.
Even the term
“work” itself now
came to mean the
task of killing!
98. In my book,
Holocaust In Rwanda,
I quote some examples
of this extremist
ideology propagated
by senior government
officials.
99. Here are the words of MRND Vice President Dr. Leon Mugesera:
“the Tutsi are inyenzis (cockroaches)… what are we waiting
for to decimate these families…? They have no right to live…
100. eliminate these people…destroy them.
No matter what you do, do not let them get away.”
After the holocaust Leon Mugesera fled to Canada.
102. In the run up to the genocide Radio
Television Libre Des Milles Collines
(RTLM) broadcast inflammatory stories
and twisted all news to have
an anti-Tutsi angle:
“they are cockroaches from
cockroaches who speak for
cockroaches”;
“the Tutsis need to be killed”;
“hunt out the Tutsi…”;
“who will fill the half empty graves?”;
“take your spears, clubs, guns, swords,
stones, everything, sharpen them, hack
them, those enemies, those
cockroaches…” ;
“like a mad dog you have to beat it up,
and up and up…”
104. By totally dominating the mass media, the Hutu extremists were able to
mould minds and fill them with hatred and a lust for blood.
The MRND ruling party planned and promoted the systematic
annihilation of the Tutsi minority from as early as 1990.
105. The pattern of the killings reveals that the massacres were meticulously
organised in advance. Most of the victims were slaughtered
inside church buildings, hospitals, and schools.
I walked knee deep in corpses in the church at Ntarama.
106. At the Kigali Hospital over 7,000 corpses had to be removed before the
hospital could be reopened.
113. It is disturbing how many African leaders, while ostensibly opposing
racism, support one of the most vitriolic racists on the continent today:
Robert Mugabe.
114. Despite Zimbabwean dictator, Robert Mugabe, being guilty
of some of the most vicious racism,
with a disastrous policy of state sponsored terrorism,
115. the stealing and looting of farms and businesses, the murder of farmers
and opposition members, terrorizing of Supreme Court justices,
116. the ANC government of South Africa have steadfastly refused to criticise
Mugabe.
bombing of opposition newspaper offices, imprisoning of critics and
reckless promotion of racial hatred against whites,
118. The crisis in Zimbabwe is severe.
The worst inflation in the history of the world.
119. People are dying of starvation in a man-made famine, orchestrated by
the ZANU-PF government of Mugabe. Over 5,000 productive white
commercial farms have been seized by government organised mobs.
120. Vast herds of cattle and wildlife have been slaughtered.
Crops and stores burned.
121. Farmhouses looted. Many people beaten or murdered. One of the most
productive agricultural economies in Africa has been systematically
destroyed, because of fanatical racial hatred.
122. Not only did these
farms feed the entire
nation, but they also
exported food
providing the highest
percentage of foreign
exchange earnings for
the country. These
commercial farms
were also the highest
employers of labour in
the country and
provided homes for up
to 4 million farm
workers and their
dependants.
124. When the president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, needed a scapegoat
for his failed socialism, he played the race card, declaring:
“farmers are enemies of the state!... We have degrees in violence!...
those farmers who resist will die!”
126. Yet, despite blatant fraud in elections, and tens of thousands of
human rights abuses documented,
127. many ANC leaders in South Africa have evidenced an obscene
infatuation with and warmth towards the violent dictatorship of Robert
Mugabe in Zimbabwe. “Whoever says to the guilty, you are innocent –
peoples will curse them and nations denounce them.” Proverbs 24:24
129. It is evident that this
blind support for
Mugabe is inspired,
in large part, by racial
prejudice. Despite
Mugabe engineering
one of the most
“spectacular economic
collapses of history”
with his national
suicide of Zimbabwe,
130. all too many political leaders support him – irrespective of the
lawlessness and savagery afflicting the population of Zimbabwe. Despite
half the population of Zimbabwe having voted with their feet by fleeing
the country, many in the African Union have evidenced both racism
and hypocrisy in enthusiastically applauding Mugabe.
131. This racism and hypocrisy was particularly evident at the UN
World Summit on Sustainable Development. While Mugabe supporters
were slaughtering endangered wildlife and destroying huge forests
and game reserves in Zimbabwe, Mugabe was being applauded
with standing ovations as a key note speaker!
132. “How long will the land lie parched and the grass in every field
be withered? Because those who live in it are wicked,
the animals and birds have perished.” Jeremiah 12:4
134. Under Mugabe’s racist regime tens of thousands of Matabele tribesmen
were massacred even judges have been assaulted by mobs in their
chambers in court, journalists and editors have been arrested and
tortured, pastors have been arrested for praying for peace and justice,
and the only independent daily newspaper and radio station in
Zimbabwe were blown up.
136. How can anybody in the ANC ever again speak against the racial
discrimination of “apartheid South Africa” when they have instituted
their own racial discrimination through Affirmative Action and
Black Economic Empowerment, job reservations and racial quotas
in South Africa?
137. And when they are so enthusiastically supportive of Robert Mugabe’s
vicious racism in Zimbabwe?
139. even while over 3,000 white commercial farmers have been murdered –
in the most torturous and brutal ways?
140. And when thousands of Zimbabwe refugees in South Africa have been
attacked, then homes burned and many killed, in Xenophobic attacks?
141.
142. In many ways we now have worse race relations today with
Affirmative Action than we even had in the past with apartheid.
Many white people consistently opposed the discrimination of
apartheid and spoke up for blacks that were victims of injustice.
143. However, there have been comparatively few black people who
have spoken up against the brutal murder of over 3000
144. and the massive injustices being perpetrated against the white
minority in the name of Affirmative Action today.
145. To many people it would seem that Affirmative Action in SA is
nothing other than a cover for corruption on an unprecedented
scale. Everywhere else in the world Affirmative Action is on behalf
of the minority. Only in South Africa is Affirmative Action against
the minority and for the majority!
146. In the face of the racism, xenophobia and hate speech evidenced in
Robert Mugabe’s national suicide in Zimbabwe and the ANC Youth
League president Julius Malema’s “Kill the Boer!” slogan and songs,
what is the Biblical response?
152. The scourge of animism, tribalism, the Islamic slave trade, genocidal
clan warfare and the legacy of Marxist hatred needs to be exposed.
153. “Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for
Me against the workers of iniquity?” Psalm 94:16
154.
155. “Am I now trying to
win the approval of
men, or of God?
Or am I trying to
please men?
If I was still trying to
please men, I would
not be a servant of
Christ.”
Galatians 1:10
156. The Only
Solution
Only Biblical Christianity
offers a rational basis for
opposing racism and
xenophobia, and for
pursuing justice.
165. “They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome
them because He is the Lord of lords and King of kings – and with Him
will be His called, chosen and faithful followers.”
Revelation 17:14
167. “The community is to have the same rules
for you and for the alien living among you;
this is a lasting ordinance
for the generations to come.
168. You and the alien
shall be the same
before the Lord.
The same laws
and regulations
will apply
both to you
and to the alien
living among you."
Numbers 15:15-16
169. "Do not pervert
justice; do not
show partiality to
the poor, or
favouritism to the
rich, but judge
your neighbour
fairly."
Leviticus 19:15
171. "Love the Lord your
God with all your
heart and with all
your soul and with
all your mind and
with all your
strength… love your
neighbour as
yourself."
Mark 12:30-31
172. Our Lord Jesus Christ
taught us to observe
the Golden Rule:
“And just as you
want men to do to
you, you also do to
them likewise.”
Luke 6:31
The Golden Rule
173. Jesus even taught His
followers to:
“Love
your enemies,
do good to those
who hate you,
bless those who
curse you and pray
for those who
despitefully
use you…”
Luke 6:27-28
Love Your Enemies
174. The Biblical solutions to
racism, xenophobia and
hate speech are found
in the Doctrine of
Creation,
The Greatest
Commandment,
The Golden Rule,
The Parable of the
Good Samaritan and
The Great
Commission.
175. After rising from the dead, and before ascending into Heaven, the Lord
Jesus Christ gave His followers the Great Commission:
“All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on Earth.
Go therefore and disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo I am
with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
The Great Commission
176. Because of these and other
Scriptural commands, Christians
like St Patrick,
Boniface,
William Wilberforce,
John Newton, William Carey,
David Livingstone, Mary Slessor,
Lord Shaftsbury,
General Charles Gordon,
and so many others, worked
tirelessly to end the slave trade,
stop child labour and set the
captives free.
Amongst all the religions of the
world, only Christianity brought
an end to the slave trade.
Christian Love in Action
177. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
178. All this is from God who reconciled us to Himself through
Christ and gave us the ministry of Reconciliation:
179. That God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ…
and He has committed to us the message of Reconciliation."
2 Corinthians 5:17-19
180. "For He Himself is our peace who has made the two
one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall
of hostility." Ephesians 2:14
181. Christians are commanded to love the foreigners
and aliens in our midst, to love our neighbour,
to be good Samaritans and do to others
what we would want them to do to us.
Love In Action
182. Who is My Neighbour?
When Jesus was challenged by a potentially xenophobic question:
Who is my neighbour? Our Lord specifically chose a Samaritan,
who was a foreigner, despised by the Jews of his day, as an example
(Luke 10:29-37).
183. The people of Israel were commanded to treat
foreigners with kindness, because they themselves
were once foreigners in Egypt (Exodus 22:21).
184. When King Herod sought to kill the infant Jesus,
Mary and Joseph fled with Him to Egypt.
185. Christian Response
The Christian response to Xenophobia is to love our
neighbour as ourselves, to do to them as we would
want to be done unto ourselves.
186. Not only opening
our church doors
to minister to foreigners
in our community,
but working to help them
establish freedom
and justice
in their own lands,
so that they will be able
to return to their homes
with hope for the future.
187. "Love the Lord your
God with all your
heart and with all
your soul and with
all your mind and
with all your
strength… love your
neighbour as
yourself."
Mark 12:30-31
