Sinopse
An inspirational argument for the creation of a new pilgrimage tradition in the United States.
Pilgrimage is a sacred tradition that has existed around the world for centuries. Every year, more than 100 million devotees from different cultures and faiths embark on journeys to such holy sites as Santiago de Compostela, Mecca, and Banaras. For some, making a pilgrimage is a spiritual act, while for others it is a secular experience of personal restoration. And yet there has never existed a tradition of pilgrimage within the United States.
Cultural geographer James E. Mills makes a compelling case for the creation of a network of American pilgrimage routes to heal societal divisions and foster a new ethos of humanitarianism and environmentalism. He also addresses practical considerations for the development, ownership, and administration of future routes. Pilgrimage Pathways for the United States is for anyone considering a pilgrimage and for those of us who are interested in connecting and protecting our natural world, including environmentalists, interfaith clergy, political leaders, community developers, and activists.
Resumo da Crítica
“This is a creative and powerful book. It describes a practical way to fulfill the promise of Interfaith America and protect our sacred planet all at once.” (Eboo Patel, founder of the Interfaith Youth Core and author of Acts of Faith)
“A pilgrimage is a journey devoted as much to getting there as to arriving. Mills shows how we Americans can incorporate new concepts of pilgrimage into our own lives and in the process nourish not only ourselves but our society, our environment, and our sense of history.” (Trebbe Johnson, author of Radical Joy for Hard Times)
“America’s fast roads, 'No Trespassing’ signs,' and urban sprawl have sucked the soul out of the land and confined our journeys to suburban cul-de-sacs. Mills’s vision is what we need to make our journeys meaningful, our populace peripatetic, and our landscape reenchanted.” (Ken Ilgunas, author of This Land Is Your Land)
