The subject of the dissertation is church asylum under the 2015 agreement of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and the Christian churches. The main legal, as well as actual differences to the granting of church asylum since the end of the 1980s are elaborated. The effects of the BAMF-church agreement and the subsequently implemented dossier procedure on the "legal problems" of church asylum are analyzed. This makes it possible to answer whether a legalization of church asylum - already feared 30 years ago - has occurred. In the result no legalization can be recognized, but a so far unknown degree of formalization. The state-provided hardship procedure for refugees in church asylum restricts the legitimacy of any sanctions or eliminates them altogether and shifts the burden of justification in other ways as well. This leads to new or changed consequences of church asylum under simple law.

"As pastors we have taught our people about God's promise to bless every family on earth through Abraham. We have preached that our mission is to reach the whole world with the gospel. But what about the newcomers from other countries who have moved near our churches? What about those who live under the bridge, people with alternative sexual preferences, and others in our communities? Does the love of God move us to care for them? In this book, Don George shares the story of how God touched his heart and changed the direction of his church. If you want to stick with the status quo, don't bother to read it. But if you sense that God has something more, for you and for your church, open both the book and your heart to an adventure of love, challenge, and the thrill of knowing you're in alignment with God's deepest desires"--Page 4 of cover.

Many religious scholars have noted a decline in institutional forms of religion in Canada. With fewer Canadians regularly attending church or following denominational proscriptions, is institutionalized religion becoming a thing of the past? In A Culture of Faith, Sam Reimer and Michael Wilkinson argue that evangelical Protestants continue to show strong allegiance to their congregations. Through a national study, including interviews with over five hundred pastors and an analysis of financial resources, the authors argue that evangelical Protestant congregations demonstrate greater resiliency within a broader context of declining religiosity. According to their findings, weekly church attendance among evangelicals is substantially higher than the national average, church attendees say they get significant enjoyment from their religious groups, youth participation is high, and evangelicals are more likely to volunteer. While there may be signs of decline on the horizon, Canadian evangelical congregations seem to remain vital at a time when most other Christian traditions are waning. A clearly presented study of evangelical beliefs, organizations, leaders, and finances, A Culture of Faith reveals the current strength of evangelical Protestantism and its implications for the future of religion in Canada.
