ABSTRACT
This chapter directly confronts discourses of faith and the ways in which particular theologies are being framed and rescripted in response to migration. Theo-ethical reflection on migration has largely emerged in the last ten years and been focused on Christian activity. The chapter outlines a few key themes from Islam and Anglo-Christianity as a starting-point both for urgently needed conversations about migration between faiths and for these religious communities on-going engagement with publics, policy-makers and politicians. Because of historical patterns of migration Anglo-Christian theo-ethics have focused on issues of the responsibility to welcome and care for migrants and just regulation of borders, reflecting the tendency for Anglo-Christian communities to see themselves as hosts to incoming others. While Islam is also rich in reflection on the hospitality due to the traveller the contemporary Muslim experience of migration in the Global North has been as incomers to lands where knowledge of Islam is often limited and where many Muslims experience hostility.
