To no one's surprise here at St. Andrew's, I approach ministry in particular and life in general as a pilgrimage. Writing on pilgrimage over the years, in 1999 I went on my first pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayo in northern NM, and nothing has been the same ever since.
For this past week, I've been blogging about pilgrimage on Ecclesio.com.

In re-reading these, I'm surprised (not) at the influence of Chimayo and the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
One more tomorrow!
Enjoy!
