Course Overview

This course is an introduction to Christian pilgrimage. It will explore the role of pilgrimage in Christian tradition by engaging in a local walking pilgrimage as a spiritual discipline. The course includes a 5-day walking pilgrimage on Prince Edward Island, where participants will complete the 93.5 km pilgrimage from Montague to Greenwich National Park. In addition to the course readings and online discussions, we will share daily devotions and hold regular debrief sessions. In addition to the theology of pilgrimage, the course will also explore related topics, such as pilgrimage as spiritual formation, theology in local context, and theology of place. The estimated cost per student is $1200 plus (subject to change) travel to PEI and course tuition. (See Appendix A at the end of syllabus for more detailed information of locations and schedule). 

Caution: The walking pilgrimage portion of this study tour (6 days) includes walking up to 22 km per day through varied topography, including rolling hills. A reasonable level of fitness is required.
