We’re really delighted to meet you here and want to support and accompany you as you support others to try pilgrimage, perhaps for the first time.
Remember, with a pilgrimage, it’s all about the journey, who and what happens on the road. So, release yourself from any expectation of having to, ‘get it right’. You can’t get it wrong! Remember too that you can go on a journey in many ways…even virtually from a comfy chair!
Here’s what we suggest to help you take your first few steps: (Do them in any order)
Step One
Try Pilgrimage Fuel for the Journey
A resource based on the BBC programme ‘Pilgrimage’ from 2023 which is ideal for small group discussion. The six sessions each include a video clip from the series to watch (you will need access to BBC iPlayer) and questions to get people talking. As people watch the celebrities go on a pilgrimage the questions will take people on a journey exploring what pilgrimage is about. These sessions are designed to be suitable for people who are confident in their Christian faith as well as those who are open and exploring.
