June 20 is World Refugee Day. Scripture tells us that almost from the beginning of time, there have been people who have been forced to flee their homes. But what about those who never have to flee? What are the obligations and responsibilities of those of us fortunate enough to be safe, comfortable, and secure where we live? How ought we to respond? In the gospel of Matthew 25: 25-36, Jesus teaches that when we welcome strangers, we welcome him: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I

As the world grieves yet another senseless terrorist attack on innocent lives, it is heartening to know that thoughtful, intelligent, highly educated Christians and Muslims are working together to build bridges across faith divides. Last month, Wycliffe Professor of New Testament, Ann Jervis, travelled to Washington, D.C., to participate in a unique gathering of Christian and Muslim scholars. Developed as a direct response to the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States, "The Building Bridges Seminar" is an annual event that brings together prominent academics of both faith groups for

For some, becoming a parent is a fairly simple thing. But it's never been easy to be a parent.

The Rev. Dyson Hague is a larger-than-life figure in the history of Wycliffe College.
