The Methodist Church and Hope Together are launching Try Pilgrimage. This new website offers resources for individuals and churches to host local pilgrimages and was inspired by the catholic year of Jubilee theme for 2025, “Pilgrims of Hope”,
The website and its resources are designed for individuals who may not have experienced pilgrimage before and are looking for a gentle introduction. There are two main pathways available on the site: one for churches and Christians interested in hosting a pilgrimage, and another for those who want to try a pilgrimage for themselves. All resources are available for free download.
Sammy Jordan from Hope Together says, “Most of the time we take a journey to get somewhere, to reach a destination. Journeys are often frantic, fast-paced and fuelled by a desire to get somewhere… quickly. Life is full of journeys where the destination is the point so I’m excited that the invitation of Try Pilgrimage is to make the journey the point; to take a journey that invites us to come to a greater understanding of ourselves, our connection with people, places and with God.”
