This article draws on the interactions of multiple voices addressing the issue of conversion-based asylum claims in Europe. It formulates a set of theological and missiological reflections on conversion and asylum. It argues that the complex interactions among immigration services, institutionalized churches, Christian organizations and asylum seekers capture conversion as static. The article proposes moving beyond the credibility discourse, which preserves the model of conversion from one closed faith system into another, and revisiting more complex theologies of conversion theologies
