This is worship?

Jessica, missionary in Israel, discovered there is no freedom of worship in Israel.   She was invited by Kristen to attend with many others f a non-violent act of resistance in Beit Jala, a town on the outskirts of Bethlehem.  Intent was to have a worshi p service and communion led by a Palestinian Roman Catholic priest.
















Jessica found  out Wednesday morning there is no truly freedom of worship in Israel and peace is easier promised than delivered.

Kristen  invited Jessica and others to attend a non-violent worship service in a town near Bethlehem. Leading the service was a Palestinian Roman Catholic priest.   The priest asked for 30 minutes; the Israel official would permit  only 15.  Arguments led to fighting and three Palestinians were led away in handcuffs.

Jessica did take communion from a Catholic priest.
