Immigration Debates and Concerns
Scott Rae's article, What does the Bible say about the Current Immigration Crisis
, gives counselors insight into the biblical viewpoint on immigration crisis. The article draws attention to the importance of understanding the principles and teachings of the Bible in addressing this intricate and complicated topic. According to Rae, the Bible offers guidance and wisdom that can
give us understanding and a valuable response to the immigration crisis. It is the Christian obligation to show compassion, kindness, and love towards immigrants, drawing from various biblical passages that emphasize the ethical and moral responsibilities to care for immigrants. Rae's article extends guidance for Christians seeking to respond successfully to this pressing concern. The article outlines three actionable steps that Christians can take in response to the immigration crisis, highlighting the significance of advocacy, engagement, and support for immigrants and refugees.
The passage in Romans 13 directs the Christian's relationship with authorities and the call
to yield to the governing powers. Chapter 6 of the textbook explains the difficulties that counselors may come across when providing services to people from different cultures. These difficulties incorporate linguistic barriers, the variations in communication styles, differences in cultural norms, and the capability for misunderstandings coming forth from differing worldviews
and belief systems. Chapter 11 of the textbook explores the value of cultural knowledge and self-
awareness for counselors. The chapter highlights that cultural competence is not a desirable quality but an ethical obligation for counselors working in diverse and multicultural circumstances. It highlights the need for counselors to develop an understanding of the cultural backgrounds, norms, and values of those that they support, acknowledging the impact of culture on a person’s worldview, individuality, and experiences.
