Two events in March 2020 provide the opportunity to develop, support and discuss a shared commitment between the churches for diaconal, prophetic and pastoral work on issues relating to migration, especially with those who are asylum seekers and refugees. It will also be an opportunity to promote the concept of Church of Sanctuary.
