"Breaking Barriers": The natural world abhors a barrier. Plants, water, soil, wind cannot be contained forever. Walls can be erected, but when life needs to break through, it will. Instead of resisting new life, neighbors can embrace newcomers, those seekers of a better life and show them the gift of acceptance and hospitality.
