UU Church of the Pilgrimage 10 days / 9 nights with 7 congregations for under $1,150 October 19 - 27, 2019

The UU Church of the Philippines invites you to share the famous Filipino culture of religious tolerance that preceded the Edict of Torda, the radical welcome that housed refugees from the Holocaust, Bolshevik Revolution, the Vietnam War and the Rohingya genocides, and the appreciation for diversity that makes us practice "reverse evangelism" where we want first-time visitors on the pulpit right away. This pilgrimage has made people appreciate how the culture of abundance resists a world that is profiting on lack.
