The Dean and Rector of the Church of Christ, Reverend Stephen Carlsen, said the exhibition is a direct response to Trump's zero tolerance policy, separating migrant children from their parents.
Carlsen told the Indy Star. "We are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves."
Reverends are not the first religious members to denounce politics. Reverend Ron Verblaauw, pastor of Rutherford Congregational Church in New Jersey, told NBC New York: "Separating children from families is the first sign that we are no longer the land of the free and the most courageous homeland. We are scared. "
For Curtis, the president's policy, which separated more than 2,000 children from their parents, is against everything they preach in their parish.
" A number of our faithful to the Cathedral are first- or second-generation immigrants and this situation is not abstract to them and it's not abstract for us, "he said." It's something that we are preaching and teaching, and we are partnering with other groups in the state to see meaningful reform for detention and deportation. We have walked and supported people by ICE deportation proceedings before too. "
Trump signed an executive order stopping politics on June 20.
