Click here for an updated New Town calendar: A life time of memories await you! www.ntga.net WALK TO BETHLEHEM Hassi Messaoud (Arabic: )حاسي مسعود eastern Algeria is where we land this week. We are in a hot, dry, dangerous desert so please keep walking and stay together. People of all religions are afforded the right to worship and are respected. Muslims gather for religious worship at mosques throughout the country. Roman Catholicism is the largest church of Christendom in Algeria. Today they number only in the lower thousands. With Islam as the most widely practiced religion in Algeria, visitors need to be aware of what is culturally acceptable. If you enter a mosque it is important to remove your shoes and women should always be dressed modestly. By understanding a few basic rules of etiquette and Islamic beliefs you will avoid offending anyone. Keep walking and reporting those miles. A challenge was given this week.....the winner will be posted next week. Will it be you?
