Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.
As we've lost this idea of pilgrimage, we've lost this idea of human beings walking for a very, very long time. It does change you.
We take people to the threshold of religion. Our aim is to induce immediate experience that is beyond the odd, beyond the strange, and beyond the weird. It verges on the wholly other.
You are also caught with the fact that man is a creature who walks in two worlds and traces upon the walls of his cave the wonders and the nightmare experiences of his spiritual pilgrimage.
I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone's got their own definition.
Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.
A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.
People are drawn to the spiritual. It has a universal appeal.
The thing that brings people to wail at a wall, or face Mecca, or to go to church, is a search for that feeling of purity.
This evening I wish to suggest that we Christians should accompany people on their pilgrimages. Specifically we should travel with people as they search for the good, the true and the beautiful.
