Sunday 11 February is Racial Justice Sunday.
Resources, produced by Churches together in Britain and Ireland, explore the movement of people from their homelands to the places they now call home, and examine the motivations behind this movement – the journeys made, and the reception or welcome received on arrival.
This year’s materials include:
- prayers
- sermons
- reflections
According to the latest figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), ‘At least 108.4 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes. Among them are nearly 35.3 million refugees, around 41% of whom are under the age of 18.’

The Racial Justice Sunday resources aim to shine a biblical light on what is currently taking place, and the way Christians are (and can) make a difference within these spheres.
The aim is to inform, challenge and inspire everyone to pray and take action, so that hospitality and not hostility becomes our overall approach to those fleeing persecution, peril, poverty and war.
