This article explores the “mission of God” and its relationship with refugees and migrants in Australia. At its best, this mission is experienced as hospitality to, by, and with people of cultural diversity. Ross Langmead (2014) called for a theology of mission as an expression of divine hospitality to those marginalized and forcefully displaced, and recalled the significance of the cultural diversity that the Bible celebrates. By hospitably serving and learning from refugees and migrants, Australian local churches function as both guests and hosts. Langmead suggested this hospitality has ten dimensions including advocacy, meals, mutual learning, and “openness to a transforming divine presence” (2014:39ff). It is this last dimension that invites reflection as to how all ten may be more broadly applied. This article is a conversation on the experience of Australian churches at large in giving and receiving hospitality with refugees and other migrants. The conversation demonstrates the value of practicing hospitality for the sake of mutual learning and shared mission amongst the global diaspora in the Australian context.

接待难民和其他移民的使命:探索罗斯·兰米德在澳大利亚教堂中的“客人和主人”

本文探讨了“上帝的使命”及其与澳大利亚难民和移民的关系。在最好的情况下,这一使命可以体现为对文化多样性的人们的热情好客、他们的热情好客、与文化多样性的人们一起热情好客。罗斯·兰米德(Ross Langmead,2014)呼吁建立宣教神学,以表达对那些被边缘化和被迫流离失所的人的神圣热情,并回顾了圣经所颂扬的文化多样性的重要性。通过热情地为难民和移民服务并向他们学习,澳大利亚地方教会既充当了客人又充当了主人。兰米德认为,这种热情好客有十个方面,包括宣传、膳食、相互学习和“对改变神的存在持开放态度”(2014:39ff)。正是这最后一个维度引发了人们对如何更广泛地应用所有十个维度的思考。本文是关于整个澳大利亚教会在接待和接待难民和其他移民方面的经验的对话。这次对话展示了在澳大利亚背景下,为了全球侨民之间的相互学习和共同使命而实践热情好客的价值。
