We recommenced 'Matthew' with Pino (the lecturer, not a red!) and continued to unpack more. It seems the more you dig, the harder it is to get out. There is so much there, that it is unbelievable.
After lunch we had a session with Dr Marcie Lenk, a scholar on many things Jewish & Christian.
We then travelled outside the old city to West Jerusalem to visit the Very Rev. Dr. David Neuhaus, S.J. (Vicar for Hebrew-Catholic Community). This started with Mass in Hebrew than David spoke to us for an hour or so on the work of the very small Hebrew-Catholic Community and of his own story. Part of this was his conversion from Judaism to Christianity and subsequent ordination as a Catholic priest. A remarkable man who also shared a balanced view of the situation here in Israel.
They day ended with a nice stroll home thought the busy and vibrant New City and the discovery of a fantastic gelato shop (pistachio & snickers...mmmm).
