I haven’t even left yet, and already it looks like our Catholic Theological College Bible Lands Study Tour may be heading into stormy waters (see news here).
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem – and pray for the safety of our tour group. Actually, I expect that the worst we will experience is disruption to our schedule, but you never know.
About Schütz
I am a PhD candidate & sessional academic at Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, Australia. After almost 10 years in ministry as a Lutheran pastor, I was received into the Catholic Church in 2003. I worked for the Archdiocese of Melbourne for 18 years in Ecumenism and Interfaith Relations. I have been editor of Gesher for the Council of Christians & Jews and am guest editor of the historical journal “Footprints”. I have a passion for pilgrimage and pioneered the MacKillop Woods Way.
Safe travels, David! It appears you may be leaving our shores for a while just as a storm of scandal again shakes the Church on these coasts. Pray for all those hurt and harmed.
