Pilgrimage is a program
that provides an opportunity for spiritual enrichment and growth.
Christianity is introduced as a way of life rather than a set of
doctrines. Pilgrimage is a structured,
purposefully designed method for refreshing the faith of existing church
members, and then through them influencing the environments where they live
and work for Christ. The roots of the
Pilgrimage Weekend go back to a ministry entitled Cursillo de Christiandad
(Spanish for "Short Course in Christianity"), which began in Spain
in 1949 and spread across the ocean to American Catholics in the 1950's.
Protestant groups began their adaptations of the weekends. Currently there
are Episcopal Cursillo, Lutheran Via de Christo, Methodist Walk To Emmaus,
the inter-denominational Tres Dias, and Presbyterian Cursillo and Pilgrimage. Pilgrimage Weekend of
the Presbytery of the James began in
1991 by the Evangelism Committee of the
Presbytery of the Peaks. It is affiliated with Presbyterian
Pilgrimage's national leadership. Pilgrimage is intended
to foster and support a long-term commitment to living the Christian life.
Most persons are introduced to the Pilgrimage experience by attending a
three-day weekend renewal. |
