communion at the border
Since the 70's, Border Field State Park/Friendship Park has been a place where people could come to spend time with friends and family on the other side of the border.
Some friends of mine go to the fence every Sunday to share communion with our neighbors to the south, reminding us that God’s family isn’t contained by borders or nations.
The federal government is in the final stages of completing a triple border fence through this state park, in violation of the will of the people, the intent of the park, and the Environmental Protection Agency. This “fence” will eventually go all the way to the water with a large “no man’s land” (think DMZ) blocking any sort of contact between people on either side of the fence.
I went this past Sunday to participate in communion. A friend of mine took some great shots, see them here.
