From a van "choir" singing spirituals to a Lutheran church feeding its gentrifying neighborhood, we explores how Puerto Rican congregations turn worship into radical acts of justice. At Iglesia Presbiteriana en Puerto Nuevo, Communion becomes a protest—served to HIV support groups and celebrated by a transgender seminarian’s proud parents. Meanwhile, the laughter at Iglesia Evangélica Luterana Bethel belies a fierce commitment: baptismal vows that demand more than Sunday piety. In this episode, sacraments are stripped of stained-glass pretenses to reveal what they’ve always been—a rebellion against exclusion, a rehearsal of the just world to come.
