Sanctuary: A Guide for Anglican Churches in Canada
June 16, 2009
Sanctuary: A Guide for Anglican Churches in Canada provides practical information for Anglican parishes responding to a request for sanctuary. It frames the meaning, theological foundation and ethical concerns of sanctuary, and outlines a process to help a parish assess the implications, legal and otherwise, of that response. Finally, it provides information about Canada’s refugee-determination system and the legal options available to the person requesting sanctuary. It is important to note that this resource does not replace spiritual and legal counsel for the parish or refugee. Fundamentally, the decision to grant sanctuary belongs to the parish and must be an informed decision and a decision of faith.
