Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall” begins with the line “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,” thought by the speaker of the poem and closes with the speaker noting the words of his neighbor, “He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’”
While I was in central Georgia, filming the Flannery O’Connor episode of my “Pivotal Players” series, I saw a sign on the outside of a church that would have delighted the famously prickly Catholic author: “All sinners are welcome!” I thought it was a wonderfully Christian spin on the etiquette of welcome that is so pervasive in our culture today.
