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.
