I am quite proud of my German brothers of late. Their stance on the Olympics and now their defense of the Orthodox is heartening. Deutschland über alles!
June 11 (Bloomberg) -- Germany has asked Turkey to allow a former church in the southern town of Tarsus to be re-opened for worship, Milliyet newspaper reported, citing German Ambassador Eckart Cuntz.
The building in the Mediterranean town, believed to be the birth place of Saint Paul, is a former Orthodox church now being run as a museum, Milliyet said. Many Germans have second homes or retirement properties on the south coast of Turkey, a predominantly Muslim country. Maybe they could return that other museum... Hagia Sophia?
Murat Mercan, head of parliament's foreign affairs committee, said he saw no objections to re-opening the church, Milliyet said.
