description: In its primary current usage, the term "sanctuary" refers to protective community with people whose basic human rights are being violated by government officials. As a declared practice, it incorporates prophetic witness into protective community; that is, in addition to protecting the violated from the state, the public practice of sanctuary holds the state accountable for its violations of human rights ... Sanctuary is ... a faith practice that is part of what it means for the church to be the church. -- Jim Corbett
