With twelve hundred years of history, Spain’s Camino de Santiago is one of the world’s great pilgrimage roads. After a steep decline through much of the twentieth century, the Camino has experienced an amazing reflowering since the 1980s.
This Sunday, our featured speaker, Robert Ward, will offer a brief introduction to the Camino for novices, then compare the meaning and experience of the contemporary pilgrimage to the ancient, before looking at some of the changes the Camino has undergone in the twenty years since Robert’s first pilgrimage.
Robert Ward was born and lives in Toronto. He is the author of Virgin Trails, an atheist’s guide to the sacred places of the Virgin Mary, and All the Good Pilgrims: tales of the Camino de Santiago (available on Amazon and Indigo). Since 1999, he has walked the Camino “about seven times.”
