From Yahoo News:
An Israeli police officer, left, tries to break up a fight between Greek and Armenian clergymen during Palm Sunday processions for Orthodox Holy Week, at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, traditionally believed by many to be the site of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, Sunday April 20, 2008. Greek and Armenian priests scuffled at Christianity's holiest site on Palm Sunday over who'll get to spend more time at the traditional tomb of Jesus. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is jointly administrated by different Christian denominations. Fights often erupt during religious ceremonies over shared space or time.
Isn't religion great, sometimes? This reminds me a little of the discussions that occurred last night in student ministries. Our class was on apologetics and how to answer and talk to "new athiest".
Yes, even "us emergents" have conversations on how to share with those who do not believe or have different beliefs.
