CHICAGO (ELCA) -- This Maundy Thursday, people who live on the
streets of Philadelphia will gather outside in the city's Logan Circle
area for worship and Holy Communion. Some will also participate in the
ritual of foot washing, a sign of humility and hospitality, joined by a
group of podiatrists and others who happen by.
