Abraham's Children and TESS (Too Early and Short Stack Society) presented a wonderful breakfast on Saturday, November 7, 2009, at 8:30 a.m. here at First Presbyterian Church, with all proceeds going to Archbishop Chacour's Mar Elias University in Galilee.  The website for Mar Elias Campus - Nazareth Galilee Academic Institution can be found at http://mec.sahrat.net.

The program, "The Endangered Species" Christians in the Holy Land, was presented by Rev. Dr. Don Wagner, Professor and Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at North Park University, Co-organizer of the Evangelical Christian-Muslim Dialogue Project, and Author of Dying in the Land of Promise, which traces the history and the present crisis of Christians in the Holy Land, and Anxious for Armageddon, which is about Christian Zionism and the crisis of traditional Christians and newcomers in the Holy Land.

The breakfast was up to TESS' usual very high standards and featured the egg casserole shown in the oven picture above. There was plenty of food as usual.

Above, the large screen displayed our Skype connection with Nazareth.  Paul Kirbas served as coordinator of the connection.
