Study Resource on Pilgrimage, Justice and Peace

An Ecumenical congregational resource, entitled Preparing for a Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace, to help congregational or parish groups, or church-related committees or organizations, or denominational staff to discern how they might best relate to or join the Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace.

As you know, through the Pilgrimage the worldwide ecumenical fellowship of churches is inviting churches and all Christians to join together in collective action for justice and peace. Through this journey of faith, it is envisioned, we experience not only transformation of situations and challenges but also of ourselves and our churches.

Please take a moment to examine this brief resource. Written by Kristine Greenaway, organized in three sessions, and animated by Bible study, it asks participants:

• to explore the idea of pilgrimage
• to see how their own journey of faith can be seen in pilgrimage terms, and
• to discern ways in which their gifts and commitments can engage the particular challenges of their own context.

We think that this resource can be a tool for self-evaluation, for planning social-justice activities, and for deepening spirituality through furthering our authentic discipleship in the world.

We attach the Leader Guide and the Participant Guide here. They can also be downloaded at:

http://www.oikoumene.org/en/resources/documents/wcc-programmes/preparing-for-pilgrimage-leaders-guide/

You will also find additional resources for the Pilgrimage on the WCC website at oikoumene.org, on the Pilgrimage website at wccpilgrimage.org, and on the WCC YouTube channel.

Please feel free to print the resource, to adapt it to your own circumstances and needs, and to translate it for your context. If you do translate it, please also send us your translation, so we can post it for others to use, too. We would love to hear your reactions to it and to any other aspect of the Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace.
