Participants will be joined by George Carey, Lord Carey of Clifton and archbishop of Canterbury from 1991 - 2002, Lady Eileen Carey and the Rev. Canon John Peterson, Washington National Cathedral's first Canon for Global Justice and Reconciliation, for this unforgettable two-week journey. Visit the City of David, walk through King Hezekiah's Tunnel, see the Dead Sea Scrolls, go to the traditional site of the Nativity, ride a boat on the Sea of Galilee, float in the Dead Sea, and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. This trip includes a meeting at the Peace Center with Palestinian youth from Bethlehem and an evening of Palestinian folk dancing. The Scripture will come alive as you visit the Jordan River, Nazareth, Masada, Qumran, Bethany, the Mount of Olives, Emmaus and much more. Cookie Cantwell is coordinating this pilgrimage and the Rev.
