Praise for Pilgrim

20 February 2015

LAMBETH PALACE

Praise for Pilgrim: the Archbishop of Canterbury has hailed the discipleship course Pilgrim as "exactly what we needed" at a celebration, which included a special cake to mark the launch of the last set of resources in the course, writes Tim Wyatt.  Speaking last week between sessions of the General Synod, Archbishop Welby said that the Pilgrim resources tied in with a new emphasis on discipleship and witness, discussed at the Synod and led by a report from the Bishop of Sheffield, Dr Steven Croft. "[Pilgrimage] is happening on a greater scale even than at any time during the Middle Ages," the Archbishop said. "My prayer is that those who are on the Pilgrim course will find . . . themselves burning with the fire of encountering the living Lord Jesus Christ."
