In 1914, Robert Frost published “Mending Wall,” a poem about two neighbors who go through the same ritual each spring, meeting at the fieldstone wall that divides their properties and together repairing the damage done by the effects of winter and by hunters in pursuit of their game. The wall seems to serve no purpose; the narrator asks why people build walls in the first place and concludes, “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know what I was walling in or walling out, and to whom I was likely to give offence.” This topic helps us examine what walls might be keeping us from connecting with people whom we should be drawing into the Kingdom of God.
