This is Mark, who gave us the tour of the Hospital. Here he is talking about his work, and what they have to do to serve the people and keep their land. We are seated on the lovely property, overlooking Jerusalem. 
This little fella ran around and nipped at our pant legs during Mark's talk. His name is "Happy Feet.".jpg)
This is the interior of the Church on the Mount of Olives.
With it's open Bible and many images from Revelation, it was the interior that felt the most "Swedenborgian" to me, despite it's very ornate style. This is the ceiling mosaic inside the central dome. This face of Jesus was one of the kinder, more accessible depictions of many that we saw.

Hi Alison, I recently visited Bryn Athyn Cathedral in Pennsylvania and became fascinated with that whole environment--the Glencairn Museum, the College, etc. I especially want to know whether its religious and political views are conservative or not. Since you entitled your blog "B.A. woman to be ordained," I'd like to ask you for your advice. But I don't know how to email you--hence this comment. My email is justbeam@yahoo.com Please reply if you had the time. This is legit. THANKS!
