Check out these clips from "60 Minutes"!

So, I'm watching "60 Minutes" last night at home, and saw a fascinating story about the Orthodox church in Turkey. Perfect for our class!!!  I've posted the link, as well as a couple of extra, related links found on the CBS site with the story.  I hope to watch and discuss these in class when we get back. Let me know what you think. ***NOTE:  If it doesn't play right away, click on the corresponding photo in the boxes below the viewing screen on the CBS site.  It should load and play.***

60 Minutes segment: The Patriarch Bartholomew (leader of Orthodox church)
Web extra: Cappadocia (churches carved into mountains)
Web extra: Pilgrimage (Bartholomew travels to his home)
Web extra: Footsteps of Christ (last Christian village in Muslim country)

  1. Wow, that is SO weird! i mean, everyone is talking about how Muslims need the same rights as us, and how we need to be religiously open to them, then we find them prosecuting Christians!
    I can, though, understand why. It's a bit like the thing in Switzerland. They want to protect their culture, and they think the Christian Religion may smother it, if you see what I'm saying.

    and Merry christmahannaKwanzada(christmas, Hannukah,Kwanzaa, Ramadan) to every one!
