​

Our conversation with Pastor Alexia was deeply impactful and eye-opening. As human beings we need to acknowledge the deep of amount of fear that is currently being fostered towards people seeking asylum in our country.  We are created for community, not only in our cities but on a global scale. There is still hope, but we have to choose love over our fears everyday.
