Interfaith Dialogue
June 11, 2005
This is All Saints Cathedral in Zamalek, the island across the Nile from downtown Cairo, and the church where I met Henrik, the Dutch pastor who is here doing a Ph.D. on interfaith dialogue between Muslims and Christians. The church is very active, hosting a clinic and is very involved with a Sudanese Refugee program. [...]

Living at a College for girls…
June 11, 2005
My mom wanted to know what my room looked like. I am staying at the Ramses College for Girls; Sarah just laughed when I told her that. But it’s where all the PC(USA) and Lutheran Young Adult Volunteers live, and they were kind enough to put me up for free, so I have been very [...]

Eating like a local…
June 11, 2005
So, my stomach is still doing very good. And since I have an 8+ hour busride tomorrow to St. Katherine’s Monastery, I decided to play it safe and eat something I knew would be okay, instead of a shewarma that turned out to be sketchy…
So I sucked it up, and went into the Hardees at [...]

Juice and interfaith dialogue…
June 10, 2005
One of the best parts about Cairo is that on almost every block you can get fresh squeezed orange/pineapple/mango juice and it’s amazing…you can watch them make it right in front of you. And they all wear fun yellow and orange t-shirts.
All in all, it was a good day. I met another Egyptian on my [...]

Meeting the Bishop
June 10, 2005
This is the Bishop of Babylon, Emmanuel (someone else spent some time with him, read about it here). I randomly met him while I was in Coptic Cairo, wandering around the grounds of the Greek Orthodox Monastery. He was very interested when I told him I was studying to be a priest, so he took [...]

Hmm, I think I just hired you as my personal guide…
June 10, 2005
Adam on a camel (that was for you Andrew, just in case you missed what it was). So, this day was interesting. First, I took the metro down to Giza, and met a nice young man, Philemon on the way. He was a Christian and talked with me the whole way to my stop. Then [...]

Cairo at night
June 9, 2005
[Full-resolution photo here. I should probably use this space to thank my parents for letting me borrow their brand new (they had barely even taken it out of the box) Canon PowerShot A520 camera so I could take photos like the one above]
[I realize this is technically my 5th post for today, but I figure [...]
