Amen Ethiopa with sister Barbra at the community house in Antioch.
We spent the night at this community house in Antioch with the Pilgrims of Trust. A very kind nun waited for us until 2.00 in the morning to show us our rooms and where we can find water incase we got tursty at night. 7 people including sister Barbra live in this very antique looking place and all of them from different religious back ground. The Pilgrims of Trust pray daily for peace in the world, specially in the middle east. They were so much pleased to welcome Amen Ethiopia to their community house and exchange ideas. In a room filled with small carvings depicting the word 'peace' in different languages, we sang together and shared a moment of silence all in the name of peace. They asked us to write the word 'peace' in Amharic and promised to make a similar carving and put it on the wall with the others. They said the next time we come to visit them, it will be there. As we were about to leave, Sr. Barbra came out to sprinkle our cars with holy water as it is a custom there that a guest will return to visit if you did that.
