There are many Middle Eastern countries that have taken in refugees. They take them in as part of a brotherhood pact as opposed to giving them refugee status. I know many that moved to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan and Turkey. I was in Jordan recently and was able to travel around the country and there were countless Syrian and Palestinian refugee camps. So many in fact, I was surprised.
The reason I got to thinking about this today was the Pope's plea and then a friend of mine from Alabama posted that she wondered what would happen if every Christian Church in the USA took in just one family. Reading that and the responses to her post really just got me thinking about what we should do.
