A Pilgrimage 2011

The Bishop of Salisbury, Dr David Stancliffe, will lead a major pilgrimage to Italy next May covering Rome, Florence and Assisi.

Dr Stancliffe is an expert on worship and church architecture and will bring a wealth of experience to this fascinating tour.

Dr Stancliffe has been Bishop for Salisbury for 17 years and has written a number of books including The Pilgrim Prayerbook, God's Pattern and most recently The Lion Companion to Church Architecture.

The pilgrimage has been organised by specialist Christian Holiday provider Lightline Pilgrimages.

Leaving London on Monday 9 May 2011 (returning the 19th), the pilgrimage includes important places in the Christian faith right across Italy. Some highlights including St Peter’s Basilica, the Church of St Francis of Assisi and the Duomo.

Dr Stancliffe said today: “In essence, the act of going on pilgrimage has changed little over the years and the fact that this is an ecumenical pilgrimage will add a special dimension, not least as we mark each day with an appropriate act of worship.”

There will be talks, lectures on specialist areas, readings and prayers will be offered at many of the sites.

The group will stay in good quality hotels and fly on scheduled airlines.
