Update on the wall at st james

Update

This is an extract from a commenter on a webpage talking about THAT wall... Seriously you couldn't make the end ....

I visited St James Church yesterday to have a productive exchange of views. The conversation went like this:
Me: What is the good you hope to achieve through this wall?
Steward: To make people aware.
Me: Aware of what?
Steward: That this wall exists in Bethlehem.
Me: Given that this wall only gives a very partial picture of a complex situation, how would that awareness help?
Steward: Perhaps it will encourage people to talk, instead of having a wall.
Me: People are talking - Kerry's peace process is happening right now.
Steward: Are they? Who is Kerry?
