A Christian Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Beyond
Join me on a 10-day sojourn to Jerusalem, West Bank and
Palestine, March 24-April 4, 2008. Hosted by
Seeking the Sacred, an
organization which believes that "the sacred places we hear and read
about hold the possibility of spiritual awakenings and connections to
our past and a renewed sense of connection to forgotten parts of
ourselves," this trip's goals are:
-
To experience and explore, as pilgrims, the biblical
land and the roots of our faith, and to read our sacred scriptures in
context;
-
To encounter Jesus in the places where he lived and practiced his
ministry;
-
To visit shrines holy to three Abrahamic Traditions, and especially to
see Jerusalem as a mosaic of interfaith diversity;
-
To hear the contemporary voices of Israelis and Palestinians in their
political, religious and cultural realities, and to stand in solidarity
with all those who pray and work for justice and peace in the midst of
conflict;
-
To reflect together on all these insights and begin to find ways to
apply them upon our return to our home communities.
I hope to be able to post photos and
reflections during this journey, a way for me to connect this experience
back to you, family and friends. Click on the links at left or bottom of
