Newly compiled book of prayers follows growth of pilgrimages

From England-

The Church of England has published a book of prayers for pilgrims, inspired by the growing popularity of going on pilgrimage. Compiled by the Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Revd John Pritchard, Pocket Prayers for Pilgrims recognises that "record numbers" are going on pilgrimage, and provides spiritual refreshment for those seeking God along the road rather than in the pew.

Bishop John himself is passionate about pilgrimage and has led a number of pilgrimages to the Holy Land and elsewhere.

"On pilgrimage, without our usual defences, we become more open and receptive to God - and now there is a prayer book to refresh us on that journey of insight, wisdom and healing to our chosen destination," he said.
