Spike: Be that as it may … here I am. Jewish in Manila. I’m living in a Catholic country. I’m married to a Catholic, one who has a little statue of Jesus on the table next to her side of the bed, one who goes to church semi-regularly and prays for me more frequently than I probably suspect, one who has no idea that if Jesus really did exist, he was an observant Jew. It’s nice to know there’s a Jewish congregation in Manila and I might well join it one day, though more for social and cultural reasons than anything else.
