The View from the Old City

Last week on a cloudy Friday Jerusalem afternoon, I took a trip to the old city for lunch and some sightseeing in the Christian Quarter with my friend Mike who is hoping to become a Lutheran minister. We had a great time admiring the momentous city around us, and talking christian theology at the top of the bell tower at the Lutheran church of the Holy Redeemer, and a inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Its been so wonderful to be back in Jerusalem, walking these holy streets. I'm still spiritually preparing myself for a trip to the Kotel, but I know a return visit is just around the corner.
Following are some pictures from our afternoon.
