Where we had dinner last night...


This great Armenian place in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. We had lamb kebab and wonderful baklava.

The Church of Saint Peter in Gallicantu


This church was built upon the ruins of the House of Caiaphas. In recent years, there have been excavations beneath the church, revealing ancient prison cells dating to the time of Jesus, and a Byzantine chapel within the prison.

Leaving Ophel Gardens and the Archaeological Park...

Mass at Church of the Holy Sepulchre


A special treat for readers of this blog - glorious singing in from the the Anastasis, the tomb into which the Lord Jesus Christ was laid after His death, and the tomb from which He rose, alleluia!

Pic from Worship on the Temple Steps...

Pics from the Via Dolorosa...


I've just put up a Black and White gallery of a walk Summer, Andrew, and I took on the Via Dolorosa this morning. We woke up at 4:30 and got going, so that as dawn set in, we were walking. It was incredible. Enjoy!

Provincial Meeting

Ok, so on the one hand, we have the provincial meeting of the Common Cause.

And on the other, the provincial meeting of the Province of the Southern Cone, with Archbishop Venables addressing their group.

There was literally 20 feet between us. And - later, we met in the same ballroom.

Me on the Temple Steps...



Your faithful (when I have a good internet connection and a full battery) blogger, on the steps of the Temple in Jerusalem.

Tea Time at GAFCON...



One of the most enjoyable parts of our days has been daily tea times, at around 10:30a.m. and 4:30p.m. each day. It is a great time to talk to other pilgrims and share about our various ministries. I send you this picture simply to show the wide variety of people attending the conference.
