Wholeheartedly agree! It really needs a modern restoration and conservation effort, but that won’t happen in Moslem Turkey.
I will be there, God willing, with Ray Vanderlaan and some brothers and sisters in Christ in October this year. Whenever I see islamic graffiti and buildings on a sacred place of God’s people (as I did with RVL on the Temple Mount Summer 2006), I cannot help but think of it as the abomination that causes desolation standing where it does not belong. I will have to bite my tongue. /vanity
