On May 26 I will be leaving for a month-long sabbatical at the Tantur Ecumenical Institute in Jerusalem.  On the way to Israel I'll be landing in the Netherlands and for a few days will visit relatives and friends in Utrecht, Netherlands, Dortmund, Germany, and Münster, Germany.  On June 1 will arrive in Israel and spend the next four weeks studying at Tantur.  The schedule will generally include morning lectures, afternoon free time and field trips, and evening worship.  Tantur is located on the southern end of Jerursalem, not far from Bethlehem.  I look forward to offering occasional reports on my experiences in Israel.  You can read them here.  Perhaps I'll also post some pictures.
