In a campaign that frequently promoted anti-immigrant rhetoric and called for the cessation of the inflow of refugees to the United States, one of the critical areas of Christian witness - the welcoming of the oppressed and the stranger - has suddenly come under intense scrutiny.

Today my guest is Jen Smyers, Associate Director for Refugee Policy for Church World Service. Jen will talk with us today about refugees, her own faith, and how ministry to refugees changes lives.
