What is it like to be a Christian in the heart of Palestine? Can faith really prevail over violence and division? In the Catholic parish of Nablus, a few are still determined to bear their cross.
Born a Jew, converted Catholic and expert on the history of Islam, Father Vincent Nagle seemed predestined to come to Palestine. Now a priest in Nablus, one of the most volatile cities in the region, he tries to make sense of the divisions that dominate everyday life there.

Wow, Patrick. I almost get the impression that you've actually swallowed the "red pill" here.
Thanks for this. I'll see if I can meet with Fr Vincent when I'm there next.
