Sy’s off for the newsletter this week, and no newsletter next week. But now, Jonathan’s got your regular weekly dose of highlights to help us leave colonized faith for the kingdom of God. Let’s get started!

This article tells the story of a woman named María who, like many of her fellow Ecuadorian immigrants to New York City, sells candy in the subways to make a living. She pays $800 a month for a section of an apartment’s living room in Queens and makes anywhere from $10 to $50 a day. There are many like her, undocumented, fleeing violence and instability to provide a better life for their families. She doesn’t go anywhere without her two-year-old child. And so it is there we see them on the platforms and in tunnels, at least when they are not running from police who could fine them for not having a license to sell.
