Pastor Barbara Rossing of our synod, who lives in Leavenworth and teaches New Testament at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, invites synod participants and friends to join the seminary's travel seminar to the Holy Land May 16-28. 2022.
The group will include a mix of students, alumni, LSTC leaders and friends. Tour price is $3548 including airfare from Chicago, or $2300 (airfare not included), payable by check; 4% additional for credit card.
While many Christian tours of the Holy Land focus entirely on the sites associated with the events and people of the Bible, this 13-day study tour does this and much more. We will visit key biblical sites in the Galilee (Nazareth, Capernaum, Magdala, Megiddo, Caesarea Philippi), Jerusalem (Temple Mount, Mount of Olives, Church of the Holy Sepulcher), Caesarea Maritima, and Bethlehem. We will dialogue with key persons and groups struggling for peace and justice today, and consider water resources from ecological and justice perspectives. In the best sense, this trip will be a pilgrimage for participants, because engaging “the world of the Bible” does indeed involve both ancient sites and current struggles, and how they are intertwined.
