Sabbatical In Israel
January through April 2006 I was on sabbatical in Israel. I was based in Jerusalem at Tantur Ecumenical Institute for Theological Studies (www.come.to/tantur). This blog was initiated as a way for the inspiring members of my congregation to experience something of my "sacred time away."

Hi Hillary:
It is not easy to make it out in the picture, but one can indeed imagine that there is the mark of a footprint. Did Jesus leave it? How did it happen? What is so special is knowing that Jesus spent time here and in many places all around this vicinity.
Rev. Phil
