Episcopal church transforms sanctuary into immigrant-focused art gallery

From New Hampshire-

A new art exhibit showcasing the immigrant experience goes on display at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Londonderry tonight.

“We’re turning the church into an art gallery,” said the Rev. Colin Chapman.

The exhibit, entitled “Our Neighbors, Ourselves,” is part of a string of programs designed to draw attention to the state of immigration in New Hampshire and nationwide, Chapman said.

The spark for the idea came last summer from Chapman and seminarian Kathy Boss, who were inspired in part by some of the news stories about family separation at the southern border the year prior.

The hope was to showcase the daily lives of immigrants in the country and in the Granite State, and dispel the notion of immigrants being something “other,” he said.
