Mr. Jarvis said that sites in Greece and Turkey that are mentioned in scripture have become popular alterna­ tives as well. Jo Harriet Haley, founder of Sacred Places Travel, pri­ marily designs and leads Journey to Adulthood (J2A) pilgrimages for Episcopal youth groups. "Since 2001, many Episcopal J2A youth groups have decided to embark on pilgrimage in the United States," she said. "In the process, these groups have discovered that the United States is rich with sacred places to visit." Popu­ lar destinations include California mission churches, Amish communities in Pennsylvania, and lands sacred to native people including the Navajo and Hopi in the Southwest and the Cheyenne in Montana. The Rev. Anne Chisham, a deacon who directs San Diego-based Anglican Tours, said that because her specialty is Anglican heritage trips to England, she has seen little downturn as a result of 9/11. But she has noticed the impact of another event: the 2003 General Convention. "There is a lot of distress, with people lining up on one side or the other," she said. "People are unhappy with the Church and are thinking little about exploring their heritage. "The miracle happens once they take that chance and come on a pilgrimage," Ms. Chisham continued. "It is not long before we are reminded that the history of the Church is a history of conflict and controversy. As we gather and grow as a community on these tours, the ten­ sion falls away, differences are set aside, lasting friend­ ships are formed, and our unifying faith in the living God prevails. Being in the spaces where the faithful before us lived and struggled and triumphed is a healing expe­ rience beyond measure." Make it Memorable Myriad guidebooks and websites offer suggestions to make the most of a trip. Understanding security proce­ dures makes international travel easier, according to Nick Mancino, president of Journeys Unlimited. He noted that small steps like keeping suitcases unlocked, hand checking all film, and never packing sharp items or sprays in carry-on luggage can help keep hassles to a minimum. Safe and memorable spiritual travel starts with "someone paying a great deal of attention to details, pro­ gram design, and the well being of all the travelers," Ms. Roman suggested, which should include "a program design that offers spiritual formation." Ms. Haley agrees that "going on pilgrimage requires soul searching: What does the group hope to gain through pilgrimage? In what ways do pilgrims want to transform their lives?

Seeking the Sacred Year after year we see the statistics that Americans receive less than half the vacation time of their counterparts in other prosperous countries. Yet Americans spend close to $500 billion on travel annually, which is one indication that we like to make the most of the vacation time that we do have. Perhaps that's why so many people today are choosing travel destinations that have a spiritual component. In growing numbers, travelers are booking tickets and seeking tours that go beyond sightseeing and connect with their faith. For some, that means traveling halfway around the world to a site that has attracted pilgrims for centuries. For others, it's eajoying a weekend program at a cathedral, retreat center, or another sacred place closer to home. Some choose to roll up their sleeves and pick up a hammer on a short-term mission assignment; others find restorative refreshment in the quiet rhythm of a religious community's daily life. Whatever their destination or activity, travelers can eajoy the new perspectives and sense of renewal that come from stepping away from everyday routines. In this special Travel Issue, you'll find articles and advertising about a wide ouldbe wise range of travel choices, including ideas for making these trips most eajoyable, meaningful, and memorable. Whether you're planning a sabbatical, a youth group pilgrimage, or a family vacation, we encourage you to explore and make use of these resources as you consider the many options available for your own journey. claimingdivine ·"' -· ·_-, . ,_.-.. _._.. · /fgoidancefor our Holy Presumption In reading accounts of diocesan conventions, letters to the editor, and various ownparticular other correspondence, it is striking how often people are citing the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the legislative bodies of the Church. As has been observed, con­ testants on each side of disagreements are convinced that the Spirit is on their causes. side, yet one side loses. There are many instances of people being involved in prayer and thoughtful reflection on a particular issue, and voting in the affirma­ tive, but there are often people praying just as hard and reflecting just as carefully and voting negatively. It seems to us that it would be wise to be cautious in claiming divine guidance for our own particular causes. Maybe the Holy Spirit is not as concerned with win­ ning on a particular issue as we may be. Perhaps what may be truly right for one group is not right for another body of people. Or possibly putting up something for a vote could be a denial of its sacred character. Showing greater sensitivity toward the sacred might be a helpful strategy as the Church deals with legislative matters. Lenten Opportunities Many people are probably finding it difficult to believe that the Third Sunday in Lent is already upon us. Because this austere season began earlier than usual, it caught many of us off guard without having made adequate plans for a more intense time of spiritual discipline. But with two-thirds of this penitential season remaining, we can start afresh. The simple yet effective disciplines of giving up and taking on still can be meaningful for those who are persistent. Giving up something that prevents us from moving closer to God can be particularly effective, especially if it is accompanied by adding something like Bible reading or participating in a weekday Eucharist. There is still time to participate in the traditional exercise of almsgiving - exercising mercy toward those who need help, contributing to an outreach ministry, forgiving those who have wronged us. One of the emphases of Lent is spiritual development. During these remain­ ing days of Lent the Church offers opportunities to pursue personal spiritual growth in order that we may be better prepared to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
