Well I've enjoyed a rare day off today - and got myself into all sorts of trouble.
Over on the Connexions blog Richard is upset that I have had the audacity to point out that some Jews and Israelis consider the actions and words of the Methodist Church in recent weeks to be anti-Semitic. Apparently by reporting this I was "nothing less than shameful" Ouch.
Meanwhile the co-editor of Connexions, Kim came out with the rhetorical line "Methodists have moved beyond Holocaust denial to Holocaust complicit".
Oh dear, Kim was unaware that a British Methodist Minister assisted in the identification and transportation of Jews to the death camps. Nor that the Methodist Connexion as recently as the 1990s refused to investigate the allegation or issue an apology. I've now written to Church House and asked that the issue be cleared up.
Anyway, in the end a busy day blogging.
The tradegy is that all our efforts seem so puny besides the enormity of the situation that has unfolded.
We must continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. At least we can all agree on that.....I hope.

The peace of Jerusalem..,
Which piece is it that you want?
Seriously, Peace - Shalom - Holiness - wholeness; all related concepts.
A whole city at peace. Would this be an undivided Jerusalem? Is Zion to partitioned?
To pray for the peace of Jerusalem is , ultimately to pray for its rule by Yeshua Ha Moschiach (Jesus the Christ). No problem there then, unless you are a Muslim or a non-Messianic Jew.
I know what I am praying for, I'm not so sure about anyone else...
