What is the religious organizations doing to support communities affected by Xenophobia

1 answer

First and foremost, it should be noted that religious xenophobia is fundamentally different from ethnic xenophobia. And it is not because one can choose to change his or her religion at will, but primarily because negative attitudes towards other nations is not a necessary component for national self-identity, while a more or less hostile disposition to other religious beliefs is a major prerequisite for practically any religious identity.

Another way of looking at it.

United Methodist congregations across South Africa gathered to take a stand against xenophobia during a churchwide day of prayer. The event was a response to recent attacks on foreign nationals in South Africa. The Rev. Mills Maliwa, assistant to Bishop Joaquina Filipe Nhanala, said The United Methodist Church is against xenophobia, which is defined as the fear and hatred of foreigners or strangers.
