Loading...The Heschel/Merton Pilgrimage 2007 is being planned for Oct. 11-15 by Interfaith Paths to Peace and the Diocese of Kentucky's Department of Jubilee and Justice.
The five-day pilgrimage is designed to involve 50 individuals from the Louisville area to draw attention to finding nonviolent ways for addressing major problems confronting our community, the nation and the world. Building on the successful Gandhi/Merton Pilgrimage for Peace and Nonviolence held in September of 2006, this year’s pilgrimage is named to honor Thomas Merton and Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the 20th Century’s greatest Jewish thinkers and a major force in peace and justice. Heschel worked closely with the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year marks the centennial of Heschel’s birth.
