4 Saturday, January 11, 1969 Holy Land Trip Eventful for Dr. Nelson", Raleigh Minister in Favor of Christmas Tours Dr. Stanley Nelson looks over some of the mementoes purchased ill Israel and Greece. A,t left rear is a Greek doll attired in dress of Corfu Island. At left is an Israeli-made doll dressed similar to the Biblical Ruth. The Bible in front of him is bound in olive wood and the drum to the right was purchased in the Negev desert. The Bedovin costume jewelry in the foreground is over 200years old. By JOE McLEAN Times Church Editor Dr. Stanley A. Nelson, pastor of Ridge Road Church who traveled in the Holy Land during the Christmas holidays, is now a confirmed advocate of the winter trips. "It is an ideal time to travel in this area," Dr. Nelson, back in Raleigh this week, said. "It isn't uncomfortable as far as the weather is concerned (40 to 45 degrees) and from what I could find out there were less tourists at this season than at Easter." Dr. Nelson almost did not get to make the trip. There was a death in the Nelson family in the month of December. Shortly before the trip was to begin, Dr. Nelson came down with the flu that is prevalent in Raleigh. "But I recovered in time to go," said Dr. Nelson. Mrs. Nelson accompanied her husband on the trip to three nations. Raid Was Launched While the Nelsons were in Israel, the Israelis struck out in the retaliatory raid in Beirut. "I remember vividly the reaction of the Israeli guide to my reading the news, in a newspaper," Dr. Nelson said. "He immediately sat down and began to interpret the event. He particularly stressed the fact that there were no casualties in the Beirut raid." Dr. Nelson also noted that an editorial in the Jerusalem Post raised a strong objection to the raid. "The editorial seemed to think that Arab moderates should be used and worked with," Dr. Nelson said. Dr. Nelson termed the Israeli society "perhaps the most secular in the world." Women hitchhiking is a common sight," he said. "When children enter one of the Kibbutz their parents get to see them only about an hour a day. The nation is completely socialistic. Except in very rare cases, no one is allowed to own property." Dr. Nelson termed the relations between Baptist missions activities and the Israeli government as "excellent." "The Israeli government has been uniformly kind to us," he said. "We have been respected and given a great deal of ~reedom." The Baptists run a hospital in Gaza, a kibbutz near Tel Aviv for Arab refugees, a bookstore in Tel Aviv and a school near Nazareth. "I was amazed when I entered the school," Dr. Nelson recalled. "There on the wallin mural form was a romanticized, not very accurate, picture of the River Jordan. The real River Jordan was only a few miles away." The Baptist Book Store in Tel Aviv had sponsored a showing of paintings by Israel's 30 leading artists. "I looked over most of the paintings and found that most of them were Picasso-oriented," he said. "Only a few were of the realist school." The presentation of the Christmas pageant at the kibbutz turned ino a real event, he said. "It must have been something to see American, Israeli and Arab players in the pageant. I uuderstand that both the Israeli and Arab actors were very enthusiastic and devoted actors." Dr. and Mrs. Nelson spent Christmas Eve in Tel Aviv and set out on Christmas day for Bethlehem where they saw the famed Church of the Nativity. The Church of the Nativity is divided into sections for the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Armenian Churches. Dr. Nelson saw the Greek Orthodox services at The Church of the Nativity. In general, he was not as impressed with Bethlehem as he was with other parts of the nation. "We particularly enjoyed our visits to The Sea of Galilee, Capernaum and Jerusalem. These sections were just like they were in Biblical times." A visit to Kumran, site of the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls, was another highlight of the visit for the Nelsons. They actually saw the caves where the scrolls were found and other items from the famous "dig." A Valuable Momento A particularly valuable memento, a set of jewelry, was given to the Nelsons by a Lutheran Arab friend. The piece of Bedouin costume jewelry is over 200 years old and was recovered in one of the archeological "digs." A visit to a native industry specializing in Olive wood artifacts also yielded valuable pieces. One is a set of book ends with a carving representing the wailing wall, a sacred shrine for the Israelis, inscribed. A Bible with olive wood cover is inscribed with Crusaders Crosses. The Nelsons also visited in Greece and Italy. While in Greece, they saw Mars Hill, the site of Paul's speech to the Athenians and went to Corinth to see more of the locations visited by Paul. A visit in the Vatican City was one of the highlights of the trip to Rome. The Nelsons left New York on December 23 and returned to Raleigh on January 5.
