Christians To Celebrate "One Jerusalem"

It seems that several hundred Christians will be visiting the Holy Land in order to celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem exactly 40 years ago.

(Israel Today) More than 200 Evangelical Christians are expected to arrive in Israel on Tuesday for the "Jerusalem Assembly," a three-day marathon of events, celebrating 40 years of the reunification of Jerusalem.

The Knesset Christian Allies Caucus (KCAC) partnered with the Texas-based Christian Covenant Alliances to put on the event.

"Celebrating the nearly forty years since the reunification of Jerusalem, Covenant Alliances will bring a delegation of more than two hundred Christian Zionist leaders for the US, Canada, England Africa and Israel who will highlight their love and dedication to the State of Israel," the statement said.

This is a good sign, and hopefully these leaders can encourage their congregations to follow suit and actually visit the city this summer. The last time I was in Jerusalem the only alarming sound I heard was the price of the water (it was a bit expensive).

Humor aside, I think Jerusalem is a fun place to visit, especially the Old City, although next time I think I'll bring a pair of roller blades in order to help navigate faster through the stone avenue streets (if it is legal that is).
