In summing up the East London Three Faiths Forum Tour of the Holy Land, I wrote:
The word that has been on everyone's lips has been 'memorable' and that was certainly how it felt for me. The mix of sites from our scriptures and subsequent histories combined with the experience of the current political and cultural situation was fascinating and opened up many new perspectives for future reflection. To have these experiences with a group of people committed to their beliefs but seeking to understand and appreciate that of others was often deeply moving. For me it reinforced a sense that God is often to be found less in the basic tenets of our faiths and more in the stories we tell from our scriptures and the ensuing discussion and debate as we seek to ascertain what those stories might be saying to us, for us and in us.
