About the Event
All are warmly invited to join this ecumenical pilgrimage, walking from Hove to Kemptown, to learn about six unique places of worship and their role in our city's past and present.
This walking pilgrimage will be led by the Bishop of Chichester, Rt Revd Dr Martin Warner, who will give a short reflection at each place of worship bringing together our historic urban journey, and our contemporary spiritual journey.
The pilgrimage will begin at the ancient parish church of Hove, St Andrew, and progress along the seafront to Holland Road Baptist church, St Paul's on West Street, the Friends' Meeting House, and Dorset Gardens Methodist church. The walk will conclude at St John the Baptist Catholic church in Kemptown, with a celebration of ecumenical Vespers and refreshments.
This event includes and celebrates the different traditions of Christianity present in our city. It is open to everyone: Christians and non-Christians; people exploring the meaning of faith or the spirituality of pilgrimage, or those who are fascinated by the history and culture, art and architecture of Brighton and Hove. Whatever your background, you are welcome to come and walk in good company, and see Brighton and Hove from the perspective of a pilgrim.
We meet at 12.30pm at St Andrew's Hove for a 1pm start, and the day concludes with Vespers at 5pm at St John the Baptist, Kemptown. Water, snacks and comfortable shoes are advised, to sustain you on your journey.
This is a free event: please book at Trybooking to indicate your attendance, and help our planning for the day
