We went into the Palestinian Authority's territory today and went to see the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The place where Jesus was born is surrounded by three churches: Orthodox, Ethiopian, and Roman Catholic. Bethlehem is always an interesting experience. My heart goes out to the native Arab Christians who are quickly being overwhelmed with Muslims.
After a shopping spree in Bethlehem at an Arab Christian Store and lunch, we went to the holocaust memorial, Yad Vasheem. Lord, may humanity never repeat such a horrible atrocity!!

Wonderful dinner tonight at Christ Church. Temps in the high 50's at night and upper 70's in the day. Shalom from Jerusalem.
