Heather speaks with Dan Groody at the University of Notre Dame about his book "A Theology of Migration: The Bodies of Refugees and the Body of Christ" and how Christianity teaches an ethics of love for the refugee and migrant. Father Groody’s expertise in and passion for refugee and migration issues has also been applied as executive producer of One Border, One Body: Immigration and the Eucharist and Dying to Live: A Migrant’s Journey. He has also worked with the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the World Council of Churches, the Vatican, and the United Nations on issues of theology, globalization, migration, and refugees. In 2007-08 he was a visiting research fellow at Oxford University’s Refugee Studies Centre.
