This week the new Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, and our Archbishop, Justin Welby, launched a new scheme to allow community groups to directly sponsor a refugee family. The Archbishop said:
“The Full Community Sponsorship Scheme presents churches and other civil society groups with the opportunity to provide sanctuary to those fleeing war-torn places.
Refugees, like all people, are treasured human beings made in the image of God who deserve safety, freedom and the opportunity to flourish.
It is an enormous privilege to welcome a family to live in a cottage in the grounds of Lambeth Palace. I am hugely grateful to the Home Office and Lambeth Council for their tireless work and support in enabling this to happen.”Could we get involved in this here in Bristol? Full details are available here.
