Who drew the short straw to clean up the church after the Pali squatters left a few years ago?

Why don’t they avoid the conflict, pitch in, and hire an outside cleaning service?

Just another example of Christians forgetting to emulate Christ.

How Christian of them. I know some folks have a letdown the day after Christmas but gee whiz.
To: Jeff Chandler
I am guessing that they consider cleaning the church to be an honor that they don’t want to farm out to someone else.

One of the Priests allegedly said, “I don’t do windows”. That was what started the whole thing. /sarc

Probably because some of the iconography is centuries if not millenia old.

I love the Orthodox, but let’s face it, they have a long history of trading fists over religious issues.

Strange if it hasn’t been declared a UN Heritage site. or maybe it was tried but the priests kicked the UN out the door.

We visited Bethlehem last month and our guide told us about the issue of restoration being held up because the different sects could not agree on who paid and what was done. Sad that orginized religion keeps showing it’s bad side rather than Christian charity and brotherhood.
The leaders of the churches should find some new delegates who and knock their heads together.

A dozen unarmed Palestinian policemen were sent to try to separate the priests, but two of them were also injured in the unholy melee.Can there be a worse job than Palestinian policeman?

How was your trip to Bethlehem? Did you feel safe?
Over the years, I’ve heard some mixed stories. Most said that they weren’t too uneasy and yet a few others said they’d never go back.

"Can there be a worse job than Palestinian policeman?" Well, there was that guy that spent Christmas Eve upside down hanging in his septic tank but that wasn't his job, so I guess not.

Because they’d have to fight over which service to hire.
