In Company with Christ by Benedicta Ward Slg
This is an exploration on the power and traditions of pilgrimage. This book explores the power, the theology and the spirituality of procession and pilgrimage through the processions traditionally associated with Holy Week and Easter, the continuity of the pilgrimage tradition through the fourth and tenth centuries, to the present day. A sophisticated theologian herself, Benedicta Ward explores how the tradition of walking, in silence, in conversation with other, telling or listening to stories, manifests how the truth of Christ is available to all. The book based around lectures given in Canterbury Cathedral, substantially re-written as a book.
