Over the past months I’ve wondered if the psychopaths have taken over the nation and normal humans, the ones who at times exhibit empathy for other living things, have become extinct.
Now, I know my fears should be put aside because right here in metro Detroit some humans have made themselves known to the world.
YES!!! People who care about others are here, alive, and now openly working to ensure the Golden Rule, in the form of the Sanctuary Movement, also lives in the big D.
Here is the whole story:
50 metro Detroit faith leaders are inspired by the sanctuary movement, Nirai Warikoo, Detroit Free Press, 13 Mar 2017.
“At Central United Methodist, a historic Protestant church in downtown Detroit, the pastor is considering using its large gym to house undocumented immigrants fearing deportation.”
“At First United Methodist Church in Ferndale, members are looking at ways to install showers for immigrants who might live there.”
“And at the Birmingham Temple, a Jewish synagogue in Farmington Hills, the board voted unanimously last month to be a sanctuary congregation, calling the move "a flag of resistance to bigotry."
“Inspired by faith, diverse congregations across metro Detroit are looking for ways to become sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants who fear deportation as the U.S. ramps up immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump.” More

About the Homeless Christ statue now located in front of St. Peter and St. Paul Catholic Church ... "The bronze sculpture, designed by Ontario-based artist Timothy Schmalz and cast in China, (is located) outside the city's oldest church building; it fronts East Jefferson Avenue across from the Renaissance Center."
