Ancient city of Sardis. Sardis is also one of the churches mentioned in the book of Revelations. It is one of the seven churches John addresses. John warns the christians there they they should be awake or alert lest Christ come in judgment upon them 'like a theif'.
Sardis is truly a hot spot in Turkey. The temperaturs exceeded 100 degree. One of the ladies in our group started to come down with heat stroke.
Some of the site visited in Sardis included a magnificent bath-gymnasium complex built by the Romans around the middle of the 2nd century. Back in the days of its use ic covered over 5 acres. The courtyard that encompassed it was covered with marble.

Hello, Fr. Perry,
I've heard you're next headed to Ireland. I love Ireland. You'll never see anything so green. We look forward to hearing from you. It's strange going to Mass without Lanie there. I hope you are learning many new things at the university. I also hope that we in the parish will also experience enlightenment and renewal. I'm looking forward to good things in the parish.
Take care,
Susan
Hi, Fr. Perry! Are you still in Ireland? What are you studying? I always find it exciting to take new classes and learn new things. Right now, I'm taking a writing workshop which is helping a great deal. Writing has always been the way I process things occurring in my life.
Keep in touch,
Susan
Hi, Father,
When are you going to how some Irish pics? Have you visited any of the outdoor places where the priests had to celebrate Mass during the oppression by the British?
