Refugee crisis: Meaning in the face of suffering


Refugee crisis: Meaning in the face of suffering. The contributions of religious communities in response to the current crisis are both distinctive and substantial. The import of the faith-based contribution is evident from the scope of their work. For example, the largest religiously inspired humanitarian organization in the United States, the evangelical agency World Vision US, has a budget of approximately $1 billion annually, approximately the same as major secular organizations like Medecins Sans Frontieres and Oxfam, while Catholic Relief Services’ budget of more than $600 million is similar to that of the secular International Rescue Committee.
