Teacher Experiences Easter in Israel

Teacher Experiences Easter in Israel

Head of Religious Education, Mr James Depiazzi, is back in Busselton after a three week Easter Enrichment Program at Tantur Ecumenical Institute in Israel.

Mr. Depiazzi was one of four teachers selected and sponsored by CEWA to travel to Israel, where they participated in a series of lectures and excursions designed to add meaning to and increase understanding of the celebrations of Holy Week in Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

Also included in the course was an exploration of the role that various religions play in the history of the Holy Land, as well as a better appreciation of the life of Jesus with trips to places like Capernaum, Jericho, Galilee, Nazareth and the Jordan River.

Mr Depiazzi said this “eye-opening experience” was made all the more memorable by the friendliness of the other participants, the excellent guides and wonderful opportunities that were part of the program.
