Have you ever been on #pilgrimage? What did you learn? Bishop Stephen Cottrell pondered on the very modern way that some Christians today understand pilgrimage at the #Durham Diocesan Pilgrimage day in January. 1/3
He noted if travelers are focusing on their destination then they are missing the point of #pilgrimage! Pilgrimage is more about the journey, of reflecting on how each step of the path teaches and prepares Christians for the next step in their whole life commitment to #faith. 2/3
The destination is not an end but a new, invigorated beginning in the life of the faithful. 3/3

Things Bishop Stephen Cottrell learned on the Camino that he shared with us at the Durham Diocesan Pilgrimage Day in January: start from where you are. Many people cannot access local churches or places of pilgrimage.
During #LockDown many of us experienced what it would be like to be housebound. +Stephen shared some very powerful stories of Christians going on pilgrimage ‘at home’. This included Saint Francis.
Affirming this form of pilgrimage is a positive way of supporting those who have been (and some who may still be for some time!) physically isolated from the church for any one of a number of reasons. He recommended Stephen Need - An Armchair Pilgrimage through the Holy Land.
We are delighted to be able to share with you our new series of podcasts, Three Minutes of Buddhism, developed with Zen Buddhist podcaster, radio host and poet @JasonDCrane. Each podcast is three minutes long and focuses on questions from North East syllabuses - Key Stage 3. 1/3
They cover subjects including the diverse schools of #Buddhism, #Karma and #Buddhist leaders, but will be of interest to anyone looking to find out more about the views and beliefs of a Buddhist today. 2/3
The podcasts are free to access: anchor.fm/jason-crane1. Teachers may also like to contact Jason directly. He is happy to answer any questions from pupils if they email him with 3MOB as the subject line #Buddhism#3MOB 3/3
