| Summary: | The resiliency of Christian faith in coping with immigration and unemployment is assessed. Analysis is based on data from two distinct research projects, one on immigration (n = 123) and the other on unemployment (n = 120). Although Christian faith appears an immense resiliency factor for many respondents, for the chronically unemployed individuals it becomes obsolete and a feeble support system. Respondents estimate that the Church has a critical role to play in the pursuit of social justice and the protection of fundamental human rights. Study limitations, mental health and church implications as well as potential future research directions are highlighted. |
