Looks like there may be a great opportunity to do some relevant local work on my next assignment for the "Bible and the city" module. We were involved in the local community group where I live a year ago who were involved in regeneration projects for the local community.
One of the key issues highlighted was the impact of immigration on the local area and the life experiences of immigrants. I have to link a contemporary issue with an Old and New Testament passage and work on an exegesis using an "appropriate hermeneutical method" (I think that translates as "Bible Study").
A large number of our neighbours are immigrants from European countries. Work seems to be the primary reason for coming to Wakefield. This will link very well with economic migration passages in both OT & NT. Just need to find the local "theological" issue that links. Any ideas?
