Indeed, we face a situation where despite record numbers of refugees, many Christians would wonder if this had anything in particular to do with them. Even worse, right-wing governments in many developed countries see having a “harsh environment” towards refugees and asylum seekers as a popular vote winner. Worse still, these same governments sometimes boast of their defence of Christian faith and tradition – and few of the Christians in those countries see any problem.
But back to our game: now imagine what it is like not to be welcomed with hospitality. Again you arrive at the door, but you are “processed” rather than welcomed and told you can “leave your coat over there”. You cannot help noticing that there’s an “in” group – VIPs or people the host wants to impress – and there are the “also rans” who are there to swell the numbers.
Then we have the Parable of the Prodigal Son whose high-point is the wonderful hospitality of the father’s meal welcoming back his lost son: Where is the nearest hotel housing refugees? Do we have a sneaking like for populist drum-beaters of nationalism who claim migrants “are taking our jobs” or taxes or whatever?
