 In Between | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:03

Hi there, Hometown listeners! Allison and Kendall are back for a short mid-season pod episode - to give you updates on what’s happening with the refugee resettlement program and to share some opportunities to join EMM. Presidential Determination First, we discuss the presidential determination, which is the number, set annually by the president, of refugees allowed to be admitted to the country through the US Refugee Admissions Program. If you’ve been following the news, you know that refugee arrivals to the US have dropped precipitously in the last year. We discuss that, the history of refugee arrivals, and how we must all speak out to advocate for refugees and the resettlement program. We suggest going back and listening to previous episodes for context: Episode 1, “Welcome to Hometown” https://episcopalmigrationministries.org/welcome-to-hometown/ Episode 2, “Where is Home?” https://episcopalmigrationministries.org/where-is-home/ Episode 5, “Lost and Found” https://episcopalmigrationministries.org/lost-and-found/ We encourage you to get involved in the act of changing hearts and minds.

 Our 1939 Moment: Continuing the Legacy of Welcome | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:45:42

On June 18, Episcopal Migration Ministries and The Episcopal Church’s Office of Government Relations hosted a conversation about the history and present of The Episcopal Church’s legacy of refugee welcome. Our present moment is not so unlike our past. In the 1930's and 1940's, the Church was galvanized to stand for refugees fleeing Nazi atrocities in Europe. Today, over 22.5 million children of God are refugees, fleeing terror, persecution, violence, and war. We are called, at this moment, to stand for them. Allison Duvall and Kendall Martin of Episcopal Migration Ministries, and Lacy Broemel of the Office of Government Relations, speaks about the Church’s history and heritage of welcome, and how we are called to continue that legacy today. Offered the week of World Refugee Day (June 20) and in advance of General Convention, “Our 1939 Moment: Continuing the Legacy of Welcome” offers information, inspiration, and specific ways individuals and congregations can claim this legacy and this work as their own. “Our 1939 Moment: Continuing the Legacy of Welcome” will also be released as a podcast episode on EMM’s podcast, “Hometown,” which is available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay, Stitcher, and SoundCloud. Each episode is also released on EMM’s blog, www.episcopalmigrationministries.org/blog, and featured on EMM’s social media - @emmrefugees. SPECIAL THANKS AND CREDITS Thank you to Rob Coulston, campus minister at St. Augustine's Chapel/Episcopal-Lutheran Campus Ministry, in Lexington, KY for providing the voice-overs for Rev. Thomas Burgess and Bishop Henry Hobson.

Laetitia is the author of Being at Home in the World: Cross-Cultural Leadership Lessons to Guide Your Journey. “As a four-time refugee, change and adaptation has become a way of life for Laetitia Mizero Hellerud. Having to adapt to this way of thinking since childhood, she learned to rely on her own decisions and, at the same time, accept the love and help of others to survive. In Being at Home in the World, Laetitia shares what she has learned about adaptation about finding your home in the midst of chaos and struggle. It starts with an open mind and an open heart.” Learn more about Laetitia at https://laetitiahellerud.com/, and find her book on Amazon here: http://a.co/hvbUFXW. Get ready for World Refugee Day!
