Walsingham by Martin Warner
Walsingham is a small village in north Norfolk known almost entirely for the countless thousands of pilgrims who visit both the Anglican and Roman Catholic Shrines of Our Lady in the village. It is estimated that approximately a quarter of a million pilgrims and tourists visit each year, some for only a day whilst others stay for a longer period of time. Pilgrims come either from the Roman catholic tradition of from the high Anglican or Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England but other visitors who are international in nature will come from a variety of religious backgrounds or indeed none at all. This book is designed to appeal in different ways to each of these groups. For pilgrims over the centuries Walsignham has been a centre of hope, renewal and celebration. Martin Warner, the Administrator of the Anglican Shrine takes the reader on a pilgrimage of words and pictures through the seasons at Walsingham drawing from the rick tapestry of events that together create the atmosphere that is unique to this place, harnessing the richness of the spiritual tradition to everyday experiences. This book is intended for pilgrims from any of the Christian traditions to Walsinghamn. Tourists in Walsingham and north Norfolk. Broad devotional market in Anglican, Roman Catholic and other liturgical churches.Martin Warner, University of Warwick Martin Warner studied for his BPhil under the supervision of Gilbert Ryle, and taught philosophy for many years at the University of Warwick, where he is now Associate Fellow of its Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature, and the Arts, which he helped to found.
