Day 2: Los Angeles Religious Leaders Mission

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/bloggish/item/day_2_los_angeles_religious_leaders_mission_20100625

Boundaries and lines – the recurring theme of the first day of our Los Angeles Religious Leadership Mission. Everywhere we go in Jerusalem we see lines. Each square meter of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is owned and claimed by one Christian group or another. Armenian Orthodox, Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Coptic denominations draw demarcation lines on floors and walls to mark their respective turfs. Cross these lines at your own peril, lest you upset a precarious religious truce that sometimes spills over into unholy violence between rival sects.
