Philly clergy build an altar outside of ICE headquarters, demanding return of church protection from immigration arrests The demonstration was held Thursday, the day before a federal court will decide whether to restore an ICE policy that barred enforcement at houses of worship.

β€œICE is trying to take away every safe space,” the Rev. Jonny Rashid, son of Egyptian immigrants and pastor of the West Philadelphia Mennonite Fellowship, told the crowd. β€œPeople who used to rely on the U.S. for protection are now living in fear.” @jonnyrashid.bsky.social

Join us Mondays during Lent starting 3/10 at 7 PM in the church building for Lectio Divina. Lectio is a contemplative prayer practice that uses reading scripture, silence, and sharing as a pathway to opening to God’s movement and call in our lives.

With songs and banners, we will demonstrate a Christian faith that opposes our complicity in the violence of deportations and ethnic cleansing. Save the date, and share it with your friends and family!
