Pilgrimage as Public Theology

Every time we set out on the road together—whether on the sunbaked paths of the U.S./Mexico borderlands or the cobbled way of the Camino de Santiago—we are doing more than walking. We are engaging in a sacred practice. We are taking part in an ancient tradition that has long shaped the spiritual lives of seekers and prophets alike. But beyond prayer and personal growth, we are also participating in something intensely public and profoundly theological.
