A Pilgrimage to Stenton Kirk

The current interest in pilgrimage is not being seen only as involving long journeys but may take place in small compass, making the ancient practice accessible to all. This order of service was written by Rev David Scott for a retreat for two congregations and involved moving round the local church building, finding significance and insight in the various ‘stops’: the ruins of the old kirk, and in the current the font, a Celtic cross, the door, the inner chamber, and a medieval well. Each station had its own psalm, and Communion was celebrated at the Holy Table.
