This morning (Day 9) we met with Bob Lang,the leader of the Jewish settlement of Efrata near Bethlehem and then Dr. Mitri Raheb, a Palestinian Lutheran pastor at the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem. Each of these men gave their opinion of the political and socio-economic status of Israel. We then visited the church of the Nativity which marks the Place where Jesus was born and the manger. We concluded our day at the Shepherd's Field, which is representative of the type of area the shepherds may have been when the angels appeared to herald the birth of our Savior.
