Today was a day off from the tour. We had different choices to worship and being the Episcopalian that I am I chose the Anglican Church. I am sure that surprised some people. The moving part of the service was that the liturgy followed the same structure that is used in Wyoming. I felt connected with home and found comfort in knowing that the very words that I were saying were being or will be repeated all around the world. It was nice to be home even when I am over 5000 miles away.
I spent most of the day walking around and taking in the sites. I attempted to retrace some of my steps from yesterday, however I got all spun around. My new friend K.C. is from LA and is from the Presbyterian church who also is about my age and graduated from seminary the same year I did, tried to understand the conflict in this part of the world. We did this as we looked at the wall being built around the West Bank. Talk about a moment in history.
It is nice to have my feet on the ground around here. As I look about the stories of the Bible and the long history that is connected to them are taking on new meanings. They are very layered and rich with meaning.
I will wrap up here. Talk to you soon! Be well my friends and may peace prevail on earth!
