To be a Pilgrim

Product Information

The key theme of this book is Tom’s views of the past and the present and how much things have changed. We see this particularly in two areas. (In the area of romance, it does not seem to have changed much as John, the son of Bill and Amy, Ann, the daughter of Edward, and Robert, the son of Lucy, all seem to do as badly if not worse than the previous generation.)

Is this you? Are you ready to start journeying with intention in everyday life? If so, the path of the pilgrim at home begins right here: 1. SET YOUR INTENTION The first four miles to St Mary’s, Orchardleigh, a stone-built church on a man-made island, offers a chance to chat with some of the 20-strong group of strangers with whom I will be spending the weekend. Some are BPT regulars, others are first-timers like me. Most have come alone. We are all, it seems, seeking some space in nature to think, away from the stress of modern life.

However, when it comes to his will – and he has redone it many times – he seems to favour Blanche (wife of his nephew) who may be a prig but she’s a Christian at least. This issue of religion will come and go throughout the book. Jews have always known, therefore, the meaning of pilgrimage, which in Hebrew translates as 'going [up] on foot'. The walking was as important as the arriving and provided time for the individual to prepare him or herself for the eventual meeting with G-d in divine service and sacrifice. Nothing like the Canterbury Tales, then. FOR me, I am still waiting for a sense of calm, the physical challenge and frustration of keeping a large group of people moving at times shadowing my appreciation of the natural world around me. People looking for a lightning-bolt moment of clarity may start to feel cheated. Or maybe the answer is more about looking for clarity within, the act of walking merely a conduit for the inner exploration.

Therefore, there were not even any Jews living in England at the time of the Canterbury Tales.

For the study abroad component of this class, these are the things you’ll need for greater success: For a time, Bunyan's original version was not commonly sung in churches, perhaps because of the references to " hobgoblin" and "foul fiend." However, one commentator has said: "Bunyan's burly song strikes a new and welcome note in our Hymnal. The quaint sincerity of the words stirs us out of our easygoing dull Christianity to the thrill of great adventure." [3] Recent hymn books have tended to return to the original, for example, the Church of England's Common Praise and the Church of Scotland's Church Hymnary 4th Edition ( Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise).

Because the aim of these pilgrims has always remained constant – to experience the togetherness of 14 million people with a shared history – and to reenact and remember as one body those early days between Egypt and Sinai, when at the beginning of our history the entire Jewish community, great and small, walked together to experience the epiphany at Sinai – which is, after all, why they had been freed from slavery in the first place.

And so, we come to the present Jewish festival period, between Pesach and Shavuot, when Jews all over the world count the Omer, and prepare for the receiving of the Torah on Sinai. For many, the first 33 days of this 49-day period is one of semi-mourning. And on the 33 rd day, known as 'Lag Be'Omer', people rejoice. They build bonfires, have their hair cut, get married and concentrate on the final 16 days which lead to the festival of Shavuot. This culminates in the giving of the Torah to all the Jewish people by G-d via Moses at Sinai. I've written about last year's festival here.

Radio play by Rachel Joyce, broadcast as the BBC Radio 4 afternoon play. It won the Tinniswood Award in 2007 for best original drama. The story starts where the previous one ended. Sara has gone to prison. Tom Wilcher, however, did not want her to go and, indeed, is prepared to wait for her to come out of prison and he will then marry her. He feels what she stole was only trivial and, indeed, she deserved the items, as he paid her badly. However, his heirs (his nieces and nephews), eager to protect their inheritance (Tom has never been married and has no children) pushed for the prosecution. Tom had spent most of his career managing the family estate. He had lived part of the time in their London property but that been badly burnt so he had now returned to the family estate in Devon, Tolbrook, where he is now living. He is under the care of his niece, Ann, daughter of his brother Edward, and his nephew, Robert, son of his sister, Lucy. Tom’s three siblings are all dead. Ann is a qualified doctor (Tom has heart problems) but he is not sure whether they are concerned with his health and well-being or are there to protect their inheritance. Like the ancient pilgrims, I had challenged myself, and to some extent endured, and I had come to realise that the gift of water was all around: it was up to me to step forward and drink. In the words of John Bunyan’s hymn, I had “made good my right to be a pilgrim”. A pilgrim (from the Latin peregrinus) is a traveler (literally one who has come from afar) who is on a journey to a holy place. Typically, this is a physical journey (often on foot) to some place of special significance to the adherent of a particular religious belief system. In the spiritual literature of Christianity, the concept of pilgrim and pilgrimage may refer to the experience of life in the world (considered as a period of exile) or to the inner path of the spiritual aspirant from a state of wretchedness to a state of beatitude.

And it might take a very long time to assess exactly how the 'avalanche' started. Yet, as well as a remnant of the Jewish people, there is a remnant of the Temple known as the Kotel (Western Wall) that has always remained – even though under the British Mandate (1920 - 47) Jews were arrested and imprisoned for meeting there - and since the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967, the Kotel has become a place of huge pilgrimage. The hymn's refrain "to be a pilgrim" has entered the language and has been used in the title of a number of books dealing with pilgrimage in a literal or spiritual sense.

Plus, Meron also contains the grave of Rabbi Shimeon bar Yochai, who escaped from the Romans and hid there, whilst reputedly writing the holy kabbalistic text known as the Zohar. For on this day of Lag Be'Omer 1,900 years ago, the plague that had afflicted the students of Rabbi Akiba suddenly stopped and people were able to take up their lives as normal once again. But if, as in Judaism, the walking is part of the process of coming nearer to the divine, then Jerusalem and Meron will continue to act as magnets. These revered locations will go on attracting Jewish pilgrims of all kinds and from all over the world. Pilgrimage has been enjoying a revival in recent years. And now the British Pilgrimage Trust (BPT), a charitable trust with a modern-day take on ancient wisdom, is promoting the art of pilgrimage on our shores. The trust runs open events throughout the year for first-time pilgrims to sample the old ways. The weekends, based on walking ten to 12 miles per day, are spiritual rather than religious journeys, and open to all faiths.
