Thompson’s ‘On My Mind Today’ explores the ‘risk’ of relocating the displaced in an ever-growing inhospitable world

In the latest installment of “On My Mind Today,” the new blog written by UCC General Minister and President/CEO the Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson talks about the plight of relocating families due to political conflict, economical unrest, and climate migration.

She shares about her family’s move to the United States from Jamaica when she was young while also raising the troubling questions: Where will the currently 100 million displaced people go? What countries can take them? What are the policies paving or hindering the way for those seeking a better life?

Thompson then reports the challenges of those losing a way of life due to climate change that is raising sea levels in the Pacific Basin region, where Thompson recently visited. Read the entire blog here.

Thompson has created this new blog in response to a rapidly changing and volatile world. Each post shares her thoughts and concerns, while pointing to the hope that is alive in the UCC’s work of creating “A Just World for All.”
