Common Soles Foot Clinic: Church of the Common Ground
/My best friend from seminary, Rev. Kim Jackson, asked me to take photographs of the Common Soles Foot Clinic service provided by the Episcopal Church for people who have no homes.
The Church of the Common Ground, according to their website, “draws its inspiration for Common Soles from Genesis, where Abraham says to some weary travelers:”
“Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under this tree.”
The foot washings take place every Thursday. Jackson, who is the interim vicar for the Church of the Common Ground and a number of volunteers from Episcopal churches in Atlanta wash the feet of people in need. The foot washing is an “act of service, fellowship, and pastoral care.”
Here are a few photos of the good work they do every week.
Rev. Jackson prays with Joe after washing his fit.
