Friends,
Lyn Fleury Lambert writes in an article recently published by
"Sunrise" magazine:
"In May 2006 I was one of twelve Americans — assorted Christians and
an "unaffiliated" couple — who visited Turkey at the invitation of a
group of Turkish Muslims who now live and work in the United States.
Accompanied by host-guides we journeyed through Western Turkey,
taking in historical and Biblical sites and, in the interest of
expanding mutual understanding and appreciation, meeting with
business people, students and educators, writers, media people,
religious leaders, and Turkish families. What a trip! Turkey, most
scholars agree, is the world's largest open-air museum, and the
Turks are a warm, hospitable people who welcome guests with great
generosity. With a population reported to be 99.1% Muslim and a
secular government dedicated to the separation of mosque and state,
Turkey is an ideal place to explore interfaith, intercultural
understanding."
