ELCA Bishops Visit Israel

More than 35 ELCA bishops are in Israel this week as part of their annual 2009 Bishops' Academy. Though planned more than a year ago, the trip is especially timely given the violent conflict in Gaza between Hamas and Israel. A smaller group of bishops and staff arrived early for meetings with religious and political leaders. A blog has been set up on the ELCA website where you can follow their activities.
