Sharing stories from Palestine as we travel.

We drove downtown to meet up with the religion writer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for an interview. She is interested in doing a piece on our work, particularly on the life of the Christians of Palestine, and wanted to meet with us before she headed up to Toronto to the Catholic Youth Conference later this week (where Father Aktham will be bringing some 250 youth from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem). We talked for a good few hours, and are looking forward to seeing the result of it soon.

We then dropped in at North Avenue Presbyterian Church, which has been one of our supporting congregations almost since the beginning. The Senior Pastor, Scott Weimer, has been a great support to us for the last few years, and we joined with him and several other interested folks for lunch. Sitting in the heat of downtown Atlanta, we found some shade and sipped on ice tea for several hours. A good Atlanta day.
