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.
