Greetings from Amman. We arrived after a long flight to find a beautiful moon and welcoming people. We had wonderful mideastern dinner with the Office Director of the Middleast Council of Churches, who gave us an inspiring challenge to address the rising needs of the Iraqi refugees who are living in Jordan and elsewhere. The Church Council has been dealing with the daily needs, but feels it is those who invaded Iraq who need to "step forward. As the Jordanians, They can not do it alone. She thanked us for our presence here. Tomorrow we walk to worship with members of the episcapalian church a few blocks away and have lunch with them. So far, so good. Thanks for your prayers and support. Bill
