In a recent blog post titled "On My Mind Today," the Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson, UCC General Minister and President/CEO, addresses the complex issue of relocating families affected by political conflict, economic instability, and climate migration. Drawing from her personal experience of moving from Jamaica to the United States as a child, Thompson raises critical questions about the future of the 100 million displaced individuals worldwide. She asks, "Where will the currently 100 million displaced people go? What countries can take them? What are the policies paving or hindering the way for those seeking a better life?"
Thompson highlights the challenges faced by communities in regions like the Pacific Basin, where rising sea levels threaten traditional ways of life. Her reflections come after a recent visit to this area.
The blog is part of Thompson's response to an increasingly volatile world. Through her posts, she shares her insights and concerns while emphasizing hope in the United Church of Christ's mission to create "A Just World for All."
