From the Rector
Over the last 18 months I have been privileged to participate in a dialogue between Christian ministers and Jewish rabbis on the peninsula. This dialogue was set up to create a space where leaders from different religious communities could come together, create a trusting space, and discuss issues of biblical interpretation and the modern day conflict in the Holy Land. Sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of SF it has been a rewarding experience for me and a place for growth in my own spirituality. 
Late last year I was invited by this group to join with other community, religious and education leaders from the Bay Area in a tour of Israel. We will be visiting schools, the parliament, community groups and some religious sites. We will be learning about modern day Israel, and discovering how life is for both Israelis and Palestinians. At the end of the scheduled tour I have decided to stay on a little longer in order to reach out to other Palestinian groups and get a deeper experience of what it is like for them to live within the confines of the various restrictions that the conflict has made necessary. I will also be spending some time with staff of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and am delighted to be taking your Good Friday donations to them.
Pray for me as I make this tour of the Holy Land, and find out more about its history as well as what life is like there today.
See you in a few weeks.
Love,
Matthew+
