We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book, edited by Lia Shimada, supported by the Susanna Wesley Foundation, and published by Jessica Kingsley.
Intended for general readers with an interest in practical theology, Mapping Faith: Theologies of Migration and Community explores theologies and practices of migration across Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Contributors comprise practitioners and scholars from a wide range of religious and cultural backgrounds. Poetry, maps and photography are interspersed alongside essays and prose chapters, on the themes of:
Faith Encounters
Re-reading Sacred Text
Diaspora
Mapping Faith is edited by Lia Shimada, Senior Research Officer at the Susanna Wesley Foundation.
To enable conversation around this book and the issues it raises, additional resources are available here, which include poetry readings and reflections.

All royalties from sales of ‘Mapping Faith’ will be donated to the Helen Bamber Foundation. The Helen Bamber Foundation is a UK-based charity that supports people who have survived extreme physical, sexual and psychological violence. The people it works with have been subjected to the worst kind of atrocities, including torture, trafficking, religious and political persecution, forced labour, sexual exploitation, gender-based and honour-based violence. The work of the Foundation responds powerfully to the themes that many contributors explore in ‘Mapping Faith’.
