Walk With Me

To help enhance the experience of tourists who want to retrace Jesus’ steps through the Holy Land, Israel’s National Parks Authority has approved plans for a slightly submerged bridge in the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum so that visitors can “walk on water” at the site where Jesus supposedly did 2,000 years ago. The bridge will not have rails, but lifeguards and rescue boats will be stationed nearby in case of accident. Parks planning chief Zeev Margalit concluded the attraction “would not be too kitschy,” even though “in beginning we thought it was a joke.” (AP) ...It will be, if tourists act like Jesus for a day, rather than a lifetime.
