Paper long abstract

This round table discussion, led by Marion Bowman, invites contributions on three main issues:

The contemporary appeal of pilgrimage for Protestants, and the theological reasoning and reframing necessitated by this new/ renewed engagement with the phenomenon

The ecumenical, reconciliation and community cohesion agendas being addressed through Protestant pilgrimage

The issues of heritagization implicit and explicit in contemporary Protestant pilgrimage, and the extent to which these drive, inform, subvert or enhance Protestant pilgrimage.
