Archbishop of York to join the Isle of Man pilgrimage
Stephen Cottrell will visit the Diocese of Sodor and Man from Friday, September 25, to Sunday, September 27, walking around 25 miles with Bishop Patricia Hillas and others as part of Faith in the North’s pilgrimage programme across the Province.
Archbishop Cottrell said: “There is massive interest in pilgrimage at the moment.
“I think it’s because in a fast-moving world in thrall to things shiny and new, many of us are looking for something slower and tested by time.
“Pilgrimage can’t be hurried. It doesn’t happen on a screen.
“It takes the time it takes.”
The pilgrimage will follow routes from the Sound Café to Cregneash, parts of the Triskelion Way and the route from Ramsey to Maughold.
There will be evening prayer on Friday and Saturday, followed by a special service at Cathedral Isle of Man in Peel at 10.30am on Sunday, where Archbishop Cottrell will preach and preside.
A drop-in reflection event will also be held at St Andrew’s URC Church on Saturday.
