Conference Minister's Corner |
|
From August 21 through September 3, 2011, I participated in a study trip to the Middle East organized by United Church of Christ Wider Church Ministries. You can read the tour blog at http://globalministries.org/news/mee/2011-me-trip-blog.html. We visited global partners in Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine. A side trip to Syria had to be cancelled due to the threat of violence. More than just a sightseeing tour, we engaged in discussions about the land, the religions of the region, and possibilities for peace with leaders from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities. I hope you enjoy the blog, and be ready for some new themes to creep into my sermons and messages following this once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage. Bob Molsberry
