Description
Social scientists claim that to discover our stories we need adventure, restful reflection and conversation. Christianity has long embraced pilgrimage as a practice of spiritual formation engaged in by stepping outside the structures of society and church and orienting toward a sacred space, ideally, journeying with others.
nThe conviction is that we discover our true story by stepping out of our socially constructed one: through either an interior pilgrimage, or a geographical one. What are the possibilities for us today as we seek to be people of the Way, day by day?See All Audio by Susan Phillips
