St. Ansgar's Lutheran Church - Montreal The Pastor's Trip to the Holy Land 2008

Pastor Samuel King-Kabu was invited to participate in the Middle East Peace Initiative held as part of the Ambassadors for Peace programme of the Universal Peace Federation (http://www.upf.org). Upon his return to Saint-Ansgar's, Pastor Samuel prepared a slide show highlighting his trip, which he presented, with commentary, to the congregation. The images below and in the subsidiary pages are taken from this slide show. The pastor's commentary will be added soon.

The images have been presented in the same order as in the original slide show, but have been divided into seven parts, for ease of loading and viewing.
