This article provides a theological reading of Acts 6–7, combining biblical and social-scientific insights to support constructive Christian engagement with the phenomena of twenty-first century migration. It responds broadly to US-American migratory phenomena, while drawing on insights from the Bible, migration studies, and the author’s own work with Colombian victims of forced migration. The article begins with an exegetical examination of the dispute between Hebrews and Hellenists in Acts 6 and Stephen’s speech in Acts 7, arguing that migratory issues underlie both the conflicts in these texts and the theological arguments Stephen adduces in his own defense. These biblical-theological reflections are then supplemented with an introduction to two social-scientific concepts that have been influential in migration studies, specifically, the notions of identity hybridity and migrant integration (as opposed to assimilation). The article demonstrates how the book of Acts reflects the benefits of healthy forms of identity hybridity and migrant integration and commends similar approaches for contemporary migrants and Christian communities in the Americas (both the United States and Colombia).

我的休息地点是什么？成为全地之神的移民

本文提供了使徒行传6-7的神学解读，结合了圣经和社会科学的见解，以支持建设性的基督教徒对二十一世纪移民现象的参与。它广泛地回应了美利坚合众国的移民现象，同时借鉴了圣经，移民研究以及作者与哥伦比亚强迫移民受害者的共同研究成果。本文从对第六章中希伯来人和希腊主义者之间的争端和第七章中的斯蒂芬的演说的训诫性考察开始，他们认为移民问题是这些文本中的冲突以及斯蒂芬在自己的辩护中引用的神学论点的基础。然后，对这些圣经神学的反思进行补充，并介绍了对移民研究产生影响的两个社会科学概念，具体而言，身份混合和移民融合（与同化相对）的概念。本文展示了《使徒行传》如何反映出健康的身份杂交和移民融合形式的好处，并赞扬了美洲（美国和哥伦比亚）当代移民和基督教社区采取的类似方法。
