The century-old ladder dispute at Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre

A century-old dispute continues at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem: a wooden ladder has rested on a ledge above the entrance for generations, and no one may move it. Under the church's sharing arrangement between Christian denominations, removing the ladder would require agreement among the communities, which has never been reached. The matter is resurfacing in discussion as a symbol of the frozen status quo at Christianity's holiest site.
Why now: The famous immovable ladder is an enduring curiosity symbolising the denominational stalemate at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, so it keeps drawing attention.
