Today was our first day of classes in the Holy Land. The day was
full of beauty: a blue sky and shining sun, with Muslim chants echoing in the
distance. Fr. Fuller kick-started the academic semester with our first lecture
on spiritual direction, followed by a double dose of Fr. Baima for our
Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue class. By far the highlight of the day
was learning about Islam’s definition of a messenger when lo
and behold, one appeared in our midst. One of us, played the part as he, enduring the morning chill,
came to class vested in a Northface hoodie with wool scarf across his face! All
of us were charmed by his big smile and joyful disposition; this place is
having great effects on all of us.
