Pray for the people of the South Hebron hills. Israeli settlers have recently beaten several Palestinian youths and women with the acquiescence or even assistance of Israeli soldiers.

Maundy Thursday
Over 500 pilgrims had just completed an eight-mile journey through Cobb County, home of some of Georgia's most vitriolic anti-immigrant residents, and it was time to engage in the subversive ritual of foot washing; an act of holy resistance to the dehumanizing dynamics of this world.

Six unauthorized immigrants sat on a stage while six United States citizens stooped down and washed their feet.
