This is precisely the case for both Syrian families that I am working with - they were safe in Turkey, but were unable to work and provide for themselves.PeterG wrote:As I understand it, it is extremely difficult for refugees to work in Turkey. Refugees may be safe in Turkey in the sense that they are not generally in imminent danger of death, but I don't think they are refugees in a less meaningful way if they have moved on from Turkey in search of opportunities to provide for themselves. Aren't we in favor of providing for oneself rather than living on handouts?
So what's an Anabaptist separatist take on this? I would have thought that an Anabaptist separatist would not presume to tell the government which refugees to let in. I would have also thought that many Anabaptist separatists would want to find ways to reach out and help refugees, and would want to avoid casting blame on refugees. I'm not a conservative Anabaptist, did I get any of that wrong?
