WALKS, ANCIENT SITES AND CHRISTIAN ROOTS IN JORDAN
Monday 26 April - Thursday 6 May 2010
An unusual opportunity to see this ancient land; encounter its history and meet some of its people. Four of the days will be spent walking in spectacular and wild landscapes that have changed little in millennia. (No baggage will need to be carried as we shall have vehicle back-up).
Participants will need to be comfortable with walking for 4 or 5 hours on each of the walking days, but the routes are not beyond the capacity of anyone who is moderately fit, or used to walking. We shall also be visiting some of the most awe-inspiring sites in the ancient world, and encountering some of the work of the local Churches.
This promises to be a fascinating, exhilarating and inspiring visit.
PILGRIMAGE & ENCOUNTER IN PALESTINE & ISRAEL
Monday 13 September - Friday 24 September 2010
This visit offers the opportunity to meet with Israelis and Palestinians ‘on the ground’ and to meet with community and religious leaders, particularly in the Palestinian Territories. It will offer profound, often moving, and sometimes disturbing insights into the complex realities of the current situation and their effects on ordinary people.
It is also a pilgrimage journey, and there will be opportunities to reflect together as we share the experience and gain insights into historical, religious and contemporary contexts. The itinerary is in a draft form and will be confirmed nearer the time.
