Participants of the recent Presbyterian Middle East Study Tour gather for a group shot in the Garden of Gethsemane. As they travelled to biblical sites throughout the Holy Land, the church leaders from across Canada learned about mission work and current issues in Palestine and Israel. “The Mount of Olives is a favourite site for Christians from around the world to visit. The tragic thing about it, however,
is tens of thousands of Christian Palestinians are unable to visit the site since they live in Palestinian territory,” said Rev. Noel Gordon.
