Holy Ground
by the Rev. Paul Chapman on behalf of Interfaith Friends of Potter's Field
Wherever the bodies of deceased men, women or children are buried, that is Holy Ground, perhaps all the more so for those who in life have been denied the dignity to which all God’s children are entitled. Potter's Field on Hart Island is Holy Ground.
Inspired by the Potter’s Field Campaign of Picture the Homeless, a group of Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders of Metro New York have formed the Interfaith Friends of Potter’s Field, to help recognize the sanctity of this forgotten place.
Together with members of Picture the Homeless, we seek to make the burial ground more accessible to friends and relatives, and we are holding regular Interfaith Memorial Services on Hart Island to honor those who are buried there. Further, we are joining with the Potter’s Field Committee to improve the way that the deceased can be identified and friends and relatives notified.
We want to call by name whoever is laid to rest there.
