Diaspora is a word found in the New Testament. It means "scattering" or "scattered". It refers to people who have been "scattered" from their home countries and have taken up residence in a new land. Many have come as refugees and asylum-seekers, hoping to find safety from war, persecution, or terrorism. Thousands more are young people who have come to study as students.
