It has begun. The pilgrimage to the Holy Land. A group of Christians from assorted Sussex churches leaving the green and flying to Jordan on the first stage of our 11 day journey.

Like Chaucer’s little band we mill and gather in groups learning about each other and bubbling with excitement.

Why are we going? For many it is a first and only chance to add our own dimension to the Bible. For me – a space filled with potential and a place to quieten the mind. Just to be. In the Holy Land.
