Dear Jim, you and Wanda were in Jerusalem at the same time. She is leading a
team of Muslims, Jews and Christians and has been holding conversations with
Israelis and Palestinians as part of her work with the General Board of
Church and Society. 

Re: the Local Church: Local religious institutions around the world are
doing very well. As institutions they never look real good, they just keep
bumping along, in spite of all our incompetence.

So, I am outside Jerusalem attending a workshop and spent the day walking
around the old city, saw the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall and the
Church of the Sepulchre and was surprised at my interior reaction. It was
chrystalized in reading a brochure about the western wall (where Abraham
went with Isaac, where the temple was built, the wall where people of the
Jewish faith go to pray) and it talked about the sense of awe that is there,
and I could not find it, not in any of the 3 places. So I wondered, where is
the local church, now, almost to the end of the 40 years of practical
renewal . . .
