VISIT AND ENGAGE WITH THE LANDS OF THE BIBLE

Bishop Wyn writes...

I hope that you will consider joining us on pilgrimage to the Holy Lands of Palestine and Israel in February 2011.

I last visited there forty years ago. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with the places as well as the texts of the Bible and so to encounter and relate to Jesus in a new and thrilling way. We shall find the gospel made strikingly contemporary for us in the lives of the faithful Palestinians and Israelis whom we shall meet and who will guide us through their beautiful and troubled land.

The variety of sites and situations will speak to us all differently; but we shall all be united on a journey together renewing our commitment to Jesus who is the same yesterday, today and forever. The journey will also be full of laughter and joy, with opportunities for relaxation, worship and fellowship.

You will need to have reasonable mobility as there is some walking and lots of steps!
