Faithful Departures by Stephen Walsh
Stephen Walsh follows five pilgrimages with five sets of extraordinary people to five breathtaking places: bourgeois tourist pilgrims to Jerusalem; ascetics to Compostela in Spain; a mentally and physically disabled group to Lourdes; people who live in siege-like environments to Bosnia; and to Rome with pious working class parishioners. Writing as a lapsed Catholic, this book is one of the author's personal journey as well as one of general discussion by exploring Catholicism, past and present, religious and cultural, public and personal.
