Father Donald D. Fraser, K.C.H.S., is pastor of Our Lady of the Lake Church in McCall, Idaho. He is also Area Councilor of Idaho and Montana. From February of 2005 until June of 2005, he was on sabbatical in the Holy Land. He lived at the Latin Patriarchate Seminary in Beit Jala, which is near Bethlehem in the Occupied Territories. Father Fraser sent a weekly reflection to his parishioners via his parish web page. "Behind the Wall" is a reference to the Wall of Separation that has been built between Israel and the Occupied Territories of Gaza and the West Bank. The photograph of the Wall was taken by Father Fraser and is at the entrance to the city of Beit Jala, and therefore to Bethlehem. For the complete book of these letters click [here].
