Where we met today at the refugee camp was a community center that does programs for children and youth. This guy we heard from does the exact same thing I do at the Coral Center! We exchanged cards and promised to stay in touch.
The other thing that was interesting to me as a church historian was in another grotto beneath the Church of the Nativity is the place where Jerome translated from the original Greek and Hebrew the Latin Bible known as the Vulgate. This Bible was basically the only bible there was in the church from around 350 ad to 1500 ad, when Martin Luther and others started reworking the text. Jerome's bible had enormous impact on the church for 1200 years! He worked on the bible alone in the cave for years. Interesting dude, to say the least...
