Slide Presentations

Since 1990 I've given over 80 slide presentations to groups in California on Israel, the city of Jerusalem, and other topics related to the Holy Land, as well as general interest travel subjects. These groups include:

  • Israel Government Ministry of Tourism seminars for pastors/tour leaders
  • Los Angeles Chapter of the Biblical Archaeology Society
  • Kershaw Archaeology Program at the Orange County Jewish Community Center
    • I gave three slide lectures as part of a four-lecture series on Jerusalem. The opening lecture was given by Hershel Shanks, editor of the Biblical Archaeology Review.)
  • Continuing Learning Experience at California State University-Fullerton
  • Senior University at California State University-Long Beach
  • Fullerton Senior Center
  • Friends of the Anaheim Public Library
  • California Map and Travel, Santa Monica, CA
  • North Santa Ana Kiwanis Club
  • Trinity United Presbyterian Church of Santa Ana
  • Christ Presbyterian Church of Huntington Beach

The most popular presentation has been the following:

Jerusalem Through the Ages
An Archaeological Tour of the Holy City

Jerusalem is a sacred city for the world's three great monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This slide presentation covers the heritage of each - and much more - on a journey through the past 3000 years of Jerusalem's history. Details

Other archaeology-oriented slide presentations by Jim Lancaster have included:
  • Using the 6th Century Madaba Map as a Guide to Modern Jerusalem Details
  • Holy Week in Jerusalem in the 4th Century as described in Egeria's Diary
  • The Walls of Jerusalem
  • Temple Mount
  • The Western Wall Tunnel (Rabbi's Tunnel)
  • Ancient Israel

Travel-oriented slide presentations have included:

  • Israel
  • Castles, Cathedrals and Synagogues
  • Greece and the Greek Islands
  • England and Scotland in the Dark Age Summer of 1997!
  • Europe by Train: France, Switzerland and Germany

I also occasionally give a railroad slide show, primarily for the Orange County Railroad Historical Society, which meets the first Monday evening of each month at the Santa Ana (California) Transportation Center (Amtrak, Metro Link and Greyhound) at 7:30 PM.
