Those extreme groups waving flags bearing the St George's Cross at anti-migrant protests today would do well to remember that they wave the cross of Christ, himself a refugee, who said much about caring for the stranger in our midst. We need proper debate about this issue, not stoking fear & hate.

In Hitler's first public speech on Feb. 1, 1933 he promised he would use Christianity as a moral foundation of the new Reich. Beware the politician who uses Christianity as a tool of manipulation; beware of the Christian who falls for it.
