Greetings, one and all! I'm sitting in an internet cafe just 50 yards from the Church of the Nativity, the spot of Jesus' birth! It is a great joy to be here in the Holy Land!
We arrived in Bethelehm about 5:00 am on Saturday, December 1st after 28 hours or so of travel. We had a 10 hour layover in Zurich, Switzerland as part of that, so we spent a little time downtown poking around a little. Once we got here, most of us spent the next 24 hours or so just recovering a little from the two long flights. Today we had our first classes, on the Spirituality of Pilgrimage, and one on Ecumenism. Both look promising.
Well, I just wanted to say hi, and let everyone know we got here safely. Soon I hope to have some pictures and links posted! In a few moments I will walk over the the Church of the Nativity to pray! I will remember you and your intentions.
God Bless,
Ben
