It aims to help every local church create a place where people can explore the Christian faith together\u00a0and see how it can be lived out each day.<\/p>\n<p>Pilgrim takes a different approach to other Christian programmes. It approaches the great issues\u00a0of faith not through persuasion, but participation in a pattern of contemplation and discussion\u00a0with a group of fellow travellers.<\/p>\n<p>Pilgrim is comprised of two stages: the <strong>Follow<\/strong> stage for those very new to faith or wanting a\u00a0refresher course, and the <strong>Grow<\/strong> stage for those who want to go further in exploring faith.\u00a0Each stage contains four short six-session courses, which focus on a major theme of Christian\u00a0life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pilgrim\u2019s Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It starts at the very beginning.\u00a0Pilgrim assumes very little understanding or knowledge of the Christian faith.<\/li>\n<li>It focuses on Jesus Christ.\u00a0Pilgrim aims to equip people to follow Jesus Christ as disciples in the whole of their lives.<\/li>\n<li>It flows from the Scriptures.\u00a0The primary focus of each session is a group of people engaging with the Bible together.<\/li>\n<li>It draws deeply from the Christian tradition.\u00a0In the Early Church, the Christian faith was taught by the transmission of key texts which\u00a0summed up the heart of the Christian message. Pilgrim restores this approach for the twenty first\u00a0century.<\/li>\n<li>It honours the Anglican way and its many streams.\u00a0Pilgrim has been developed as a specifically Anglican resource which aims to cater for every\u00a0tradition in the Church of England.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pilgrim at St Michael\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We say the creed (our statement of faith) every week on Sunday but have you ever stopped to think about what it means?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3021 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pilgrim-poster.jpg\" alt=\"pilgrim poster\" width=\"794\" height=\"544\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pilgrim-poster.jpg 794w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pilgrim-poster-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pilgrim-poster-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pilgrim-poster-438x300.jpg 438w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 794px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 794\/544;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are running the next <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pilgrimcourse.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pilgrim<\/a> course looking at the Creeds starting on Thursday 4th February 2016 at 2.15pm at <a href=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/space-4\" target=\"_blank\">Space4<\/a>.
