Photos, videos, and stories from Palestine are our constant sharing. Fr. Hossam in a candid moment.

Following today's training session, we got the chance to head out to the Western suburbs for dinner with one of Marthame's Divinity School professors, the widely-respected Martin Marty. Several friends of ours from our Div. School days also joined us, and it was a real treat - catching up on each other's news, sharing stories of our time in the Middle East, generally wonderful fellowship. One of our friends, who is now a professor of church history, shared that she will be making our journal required reading for her students since we are seeing a lot of the historical churches alive in this area, worshiping now.
