Tuesday after the tunnels, we were able to visit the Holy Sepulcher church here in Jerusalem. The Holy Sepulcher church is the place of belief where Jesus was crucified and buried for the Greek, Coptic, Armenian, and Roman Orthodox. The interesting thing about the church, besides some of the iffies about it being the true location of Jesus' place of death and resurrection (study it up), is the person who holds the keys to the church. The four different groups of orthodox disagree so much and fight amongst each other so much about the church; they had to find something to help keep the peace. So they gave the keys of the church to an Islam man, to help keep it all more under order. It hasn't solved the problem completely, but has helped. It's His Truth that brings peace, too bad that it's us as men who mess it up so much, and bring strife amongst ourselves. Thank God for His Truth Jesus Christ always being there to correct us, and bring us into His peace that surpasses all understanding.
