A THIRD MILLENNIUM GUIDE TO
PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND
Edited by Duncan Macpherson
Contributors include

Zaru
The Third Millennium of Christian history will undoubtedly attract
a considerable amount of attention and interest to the land where
Christ was born. This will be happening at a time when the continual
exodus of native-born Christians threatens the very survival of
the oldest Christian community in the world.
Christian pilgrims are expected to come to the Holy Land in ever
greater numbers. This volume is intended to help them, not in the
manner of a conventional guide, but as a collection which combines
practical ideas with a distinctive theological perspective. This
is the perspective of Living Stones, an organisation which seeks
to build bridges between Christians in Britain and Christians in
the Holy Land and neighbouring countries.
