As an educational researcher and a Palestinian-American Mormon living in Utah, Ghneim will discuss whether Gordon B. Hinckley’s criteria of “friend, job, and nourishment by the word” can be the basis of a formula for refugee resettlement in a new place. Can we use it in whole or in part to make newcomers to the United States feel welcome and at home?. Second, how strongly does the Book of Mormon emphasize the Christian obligation to the stranger, and how pertinent is that message in the Trump era?
