Border Pilgrimage FAQ
-
A border pilgrimage is an immersive journey into the relational and systemic implications of borders.
While the pilgrimage is set in the context of the Mexico/U.S. border, the learning offers tools to evaluate and transcend any border that divides.
The church of the present and future will have the posture and practice to heal society as central to our faith.
The Journey Home Border Pilgrimage is a good fit for any church or organization desiring to grow in ways that contribute to the healing of society.

Christine, Pilgrimage Participant
“The Border Pilgrimage will open your eyes, hearts and minds to the relational and systemic aspects of borders. It will help you see the borders in you own life - relational, physical, theological or political - and encourage you to be an agent of healing as you seek to transcend them with love and creativity.”
The Journey Home Border Pilgrimage provided an invaluable opportunity to engage deeply with the complexities of border issues, and foster a culture of curiosity and empathy. While the pilgrimage wasn't about finding answers to these complexities, it did give me a renewed sense of compassion and understanding of the need for systemic change.”

The Border Pilgrimage puts you in touch with real people with real first-hand experience. You witness the need for God' people to respond to any "border" with compassion.
