Ricardo Colon, a Capuchin priest from Ponce, plays
the guitar during an ecumenical worship service in a chapel built on the US Navy's bombing range
on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. The diocese of Caguas maintains a "resistance camp" next
door to the chapel, staffed by church volunteers around the clock. People entering this area risk
arrest for tresspassing in the Navy-controlled zone.
