Bethlehem, Day 6

Today our group experienced Lutheran Education in Palestine. We began our day dividing into groups visiting the Dar-Al Kalama and Biet Sahour Schools in Bethlehem and Hope School in Ramallah. We were all very impressed and inspired by our experiences.


After our tours of the schools we gathered to celebrate the life and ministry of our friend Andrienne Jericho. An olive tree was planted in him memory at the Dar-Al Kalama School. Mitri Raheb let our group in a memorial service. Friends and colleagues spoke of Andrienne's great energy vision and commitment to global Lutheran Education.


We returned to the ICB to a keynote presentation by Andrew Jaench from the Australian Lutheran College in Adelaide, Australia.

After dinner we gathered with families of the Bethlehem schools  to hear Bishop Munib Younan and were treated to fantastic performances by the children of the schools. To see the dancers from Biet Sahour School, click here
