The Oxford Dictionary defines a refugee as a ' person escaped to a foreign country from religious or political persecultion.' That definition was written before refugees were counted in millions. By sheer weight of members, no one knows how many there are today, and refugees have now become one of the world's major social problems.
A refugee looks for a home and freedom from fear, and the Refugee Service Department of the Brinish Council of Churches has played a considerable part in helping to relieve the distress of millions of refugees, largely through .the World Council of Churches. The Uoited Nariom High Commissioner for Refugees is asking the Churches to undertake enormous projects in the knowledge that Christians have never failed to be where the need is greatest: approximately £ 30,000 is needed this year for the rehabilitation and resettlement of refugees.
