Cheeky Chaplain at Pisidian Antioch

30 October:
We left Eğirdir at about 10:00 this morning and travelled along the eastern side of the lake, north east to Pisidian Antioch (Yalvaç).

While there are no medical tests to help with this determination, typically through conversation the doctor can determine the problem. canadian viagra samples After the intake of Visit Your URL generico levitra on line Generic Cilais people face a good flow to the penis which makes erection possible in an efficient manner. It soothes your nerves to get relief from viagra tablets anxiety and stress. ED sufferers can order purchase cialis this medication online and receive the packet from your doorstep. Both of us felt the increasing remoteness of the landscape which was fertile enough to sustain extensive apple orchards. The sense of remoteness and the profound silence of the place was particularly acute at the site of Pisidian Antioch itself. The combination of autumnal light, the massive stone blocks of the ruined city and the stark backdrop of the mountains was breathtakingly beautiful. Before entering the ruined city by its western gate, we followed the course of the aqueduct on foot for 1km and could appreciate the context of the site in the wider landscape.
Within the city were many inscriptions, almost all of which were in Latin rather than Greek. This is a very extensive site with only a small proportion having been subjected to archeological examination. From a personal perspective, the highlight of the visit was standing in the apse of St. Paul’s Church, on the site of the earlier synagogue where Paul delivered his famous sermon, and reading out loud Acts 13, 14-52. By this simple act, I was deeply and unexpectedly moved by the strength of the Spirit. Our three hour visit to Pisidian Antioch was hardly sufficient, but we had to push on to our overnight accommodation at Beyşahir about 100 km away. We arrived after dark and eventually found our hotel. Beyşahir itself lies on the lake of the same name, an unpretentious town well off the tourist map.

    Paul, Javinder,

    Glad to hear you are well and experiencing wonderful things in the Spirit. Read a bit of Paul today and was struck by his amazing certainty of the gospel despite appalling hardships.
