“Border Church” and “Border Mosque” Team up for Prayer Service

Religion News Service’s Alejandra Molina reports that an interfaith day of prayer will happen at the San Diego-Tijuana border on October 27. More than a decade ago, the Rev. John Fanestil, a United Methodist minister, started a weekly prayer service known as “Border Church” at a local park on the border, “where family members separated by their immigration status can interact, even if their interaction takes place through border fencing.” Since April, a group of Muslims known as “Border Mosque” have joined them, and this month they will co-host the “binational day of prayer.”
