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.
