Week Two
Martin and the Rev. Suzanne Shoffner, Palestine
A view from Dominus Flevit Church on the Mt. of Olives looking toward the Dome of the Rock in the Old City of Jerusalem.
As coordinators for the YAGM program, my husband and I are sometimes discouraged about the use of scripture which implies that only “one group” of people have “rights” to occupy this land. This place is to be a resting place for all the people of God...God gives rest for the exhausted, restores the humanity of the oppressed, satisfies the hungry and supports the weak. This goes for Christians, Jews and Muslims alike. This is a land of promise for all people!
- Suzanne Shoffner
