    \"Sam<\/a><\/p>\n

    Who are these refugees, and why are they coming to Europe now? This issue includes a list of a dozen short videos, like this one from Samaritan’s Purse<\/a>, about responding to the refugee crisis.<\/p>\n

    Greetings,<\/p>\n

    With so much of the news full of stories about lines being drawn to separate \u201cus\u201d from \u201cthem,\u201d it\u2019s refreshing to find stories where those lines are happily crossed. See Why Muslims Celebrate a Jewish Holiday<\/a> (CNN, via COMMA) and A Woman Named Prayer<\/a>, in which a Muslim woman shares the Christmas story (ActBeyond).<\/p>\n

    A great story about Muslim migrants meeting Christian Gypsies<\/a> is only available to Wall Street Journal<\/em> subscribers, unfortunately, but worth the read, and that story is all the more poignant if you read about the marginalization of the Roma in Hungary<\/a> (Foreign Policy).<\/p>\n

    Did you know that the word Hebrew<\/a> means \u201cone who crosses over\u201d? What man-made lines might you need to cross?<\/p>\n

    Blessings,
