Thought I'd say a quick hi from the ME. What a crazy trip. Nine students and myself. We spent the first week in Jordan doing cultural stuff (visiting some sites, two day camel treck into the desert with bedouines, Petra) and some home meetings with Palestinian families. The thrust of the trip is to observe and study the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict. We've been in Jerusalem/Bethelem for two weeks now. It's not like anything I've seen in my life. THe "Wall" that Israel is building is unconscionable. It's effects devestating. Wow. I lived here for 10 years back in the 80's and early 90's. But it's SO much worse now. We've done some non-violent activities with local Palestinian and Jews who oppose the Occupation. This week we're settling into Bethlehem for some lectures. Should be good.
Today was...amazing. I can't describe it. We did a peace march in a local village with some Palestinian farmers. We're shot at by Israelies. Crazy. Just crazy.
Gotta run.
Peace,

Be safe. 
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be One, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be One as we are One— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete UNIty. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to SONship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. | | Back to Top | | |
