Krish Kandiah: The Ukrainian Refugee Crisis – a Practical & Theological Response

Regent’s Evening Public Lecture series is back for another summer! Join us in person or online to explore Scripture, theology, culture, and much more with Summer Programs faculty and other exciting speakers.

ABOUT THE LECTURE

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has led to the largest and fastest-growing refugee crisis in the world. Men, women, and children have faced torture, sexual assault, and execution. Yet in the midst of these horrors, we have seen an outpouring of compassion and hospitality on an unprecedented scale. Find out how the church has been involved and what Christians can do to support refugees right now.
