An Ethic of Hospitality: Migrants and Communities of Faith

Part of our Theologies of Transformation and Actions for Justice Series In this discussion, we have the privilege of welcoming Dr. Tatiana Reinoza to give a reflection on our seventh Interfaith Action principle. Dr. Reinoza is on the board of Interfaith Action, and is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Reinoza’s research and writing focus on contemporary Latinx art. She specializes in the history of printmaking of Latinx artists in the United States with an emphasis on the themes of immigration, race, and histories of colonialism.

Our seventh principle states, ‘All of our faith traditions contain holy stories about migration and the importance of welcoming the stranger and the migrant as fully belonging in our common home, the household of God. Inspired by these traditions, we, too, commit to solidarity with migrants around the world and work to ensure their dignity, their human rights, and their protection. Our holy writings remind us that the outsider must be included and is often the bearer of transformation.’
