THE BRIDGE

The Unseen Bridge

There is a bridge, whereof the span

Is rooted in the heart of man,

And reaches, without pile or rod,

Unto the Great White Throne of God.

Its traffic is in human sighs

Ferwently wafted to the skies;

‚Tis the one pathway from despair;

And its called the Bridge of Prayer.

Gilbert Thomas

The Cross

The cross is a double bridge: The bridge between human kind and God, established by prayer and the bridge between people, established by encounter and community. Together we will strengthen these two bridges united in the cross - the vertical bridge by sharing our hopes and dreams and prayers. The horizontal bridge by eating together, singing, laughing, dancing, talking...

Sharing

Building bridges by sharing faith and life is an investment into the future. By buying Palestinian products, you support families around Bethlehem during a time, when traveling and business with tourists is not possible. You also help us to preserve our heritage and to remember our history.
Sharing enables mutual understanding, friendship and respecting the differences enable us to overcome walls and borders. Peace in the Middle East is worth working for. Every small step counts.

Throw flowers, not stones

Our daily life is shaped by violence and occupation. We do not have a free life. But as Christians we try to stay free inside by not taking sides in the conflict and building bridges of peace across the wall and throughout the world.
