Church at the Wall: Stories of Hope Along the San Diego-Tijuana Border - Paperback

by Seth David Clark (Author)

Seth David Clark tells the powerful story of how the Border Church, founded and pastored by John Fanestil, worships on the San Diego-Tijuana border without a building. Every Sunday afternoon the author, who serves as the U.S.-side pastoral coordinator of the church, gathers with people of good will from both sides of the border at Friendship Park to build the kingdom of God. Their love of Christ is exhibited through celebrating communion, singing, and using their pinkies to pass the peace through the mesh metal walls between the U.S. and Mexico. Readers will get to know this remarkable international church community--and its distinctive expressions of theology, justice, righteousness, and love--through the eyes of active participants.
