Overlooking Bethel


This rooftop overlooks Bethel. For the fifteen minutes surrounding this picture, there was complete cloud cover and fog. Whoops. But it is the most beautiful site. Also, this building is so significant because it is on Christian property. In the basement is a Jewish synagogue. On the main floor is a Muslim mosque. Kind of remarkable huh? Three religious places of worship in one building. Not quite the tension of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, but that is why I love it. The three religions are very respectful to each other. For example, we were able to go in the mosque and cover our heads to walk through the synagogue and read our Book of Mormon on the roof. Peace is possible.
