Pilgrimage
We’ve only started to read Turner’s “Images and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture” but I already know who I want to approach this book. I consider myself a christian and have been raised Presbyterian my entire life and as far as I know, there are no encouraged or even mentioned pilgrimages for my religion but for a while I’ve known that I want to walk (at least part of) the Appalachian Trail in order to grow closer to God and the world around me. So far from Turner’s work I’ve be able to gather that most major religions request their believers to make sacrificial walks in order to do the aforementioned goal but I want mine to be much more personal, and I want to do it alone. I believe such a task could not only help me in this task but personally, would give me an untapped outlet in which to grow. As I read more and my views change I will write more.
