Holy Land Pilgrimages
2009 – 2010

 


April 14–27, 2010       The Bible and Its Setting
Pilgrims journey from “Dan to Beersheva,” (2 Sam. 3:10), experiencing the sacred geography and topography, and the background to both the Old and New Testaments.  Sites include Jerusalem and Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Hebron, Mamre, Beersheba, Jericho, Beersheva, Megiddo, the Galilee, and recent archeological excavations. The study-pilgrimage deepens one’s understanding of the biblical settings and one’s faith in the God who is self-revelatory in this land.

 

September 22–October 5, 2010      Ways in the Wilderness
This pilgrimage in wilderness spirituality begins at Jerusalem, reaching Cairo and the monasteries of Egypt, Mount Sinai, and Jordan (including Petra). Some nights are spent under the stars in tent encampments, and in monastery guest houses. Focus is on prayer, reflection on the scriptures, and traditions of the desert mystics, and explorations of the silent desert vastness. Applicants must be physically fit.

December 2–15, 2010      The Palestine of Jesus
The pilgrims learn and pray amidst the sacred land­scape where the life, death, and resur­rec­tion of Jesus Christ unfolded.  Course members visit major sites con­nected with the Gospel accounts: Beth­lehem, Naz­a­reth, the Jor­dan River, the Sea of Galilee, Mounts Hermon and Ta­bor, the Judean Desert.  We will trace the Passion nar­ratives in visits to Beth­any, the Mount of Olives, the Gar­den of Geth­­semane, the Church of the Res­urrec­tion (the Holy Sepul­chre), the Way of the Cross, and Emmaus.
See the description above.
