As a Lutheran ordained minister(and woman) in service,this article interested me a lot. I am thinking of making a report of priests/pastors serving in the Arab world, as part of my ministry is among expats(Norwegians) in North Africa. I am looking for new contacts, and also female ministers who have contacts and that work with the question of female ordination.
Hoping to hear from you,

would be nice if all of us could go back to that child-like state and really start all over w/Jesus in our hears. Remembering our first encounter with feeling God’s work doesn’t take long to be forgotten as life goes on.

What a puzzling case! And everybody wants to take some advantages from it. But, as a recent Der Spiegel article explained (see the link on my Facebook profile) the more scary thing is the connections created these days between the extreme right in Europe and the right in Israel. Scary.

Comment on Fact or Fantasy: The Significance of Masada by Mae Elise Cannon

Greg, Thanks for your comments about my post. I hope to write similar blogs about other sites in the Middle East as there is a lot of debate about the significance of historical (and Holy Sites) and their role in political and religious conflicts. There is also much to be said about how obtainable (or not!) the “hard facts” of history might be! Take care. Mae

Comment on Fact or Fantasy: The Significance of Masada by Haephestos

I enjoyed reading your account of coming to terms with Masada. Like so much else, it is a blend of fact and fantasy. As a historian you know history is often messy, never so nicely tied up as mythology, but part of its enticement is the nuances truth allows that fantasy doesn’t.
Romans and other non-Jews used the site, some of them before the now-famous siege. This might account for the presence of the pig-bones. Pigs were sacrificed by Romans as part of the consecration of a grave site. Masada has had many occupants other than the defenders in AD 73-74.
As I’m sure you know, Professor Yadin, the preeminent archaeologist of Masada, left tales of the pressure placed on him to say the human remains he discovered were those of the Zealot defenders of the fortress.
Politics, the ultimate fantasy!
Thanks for sharing your struggle with the hard facts of history.
Pax,
Greg

I’m glad you’re encouraged by my declaration publicly in Alexandria last Sunday, and my affirmation of the ordination of women! I also I’m glad I did it. GBU.
