It is designed to create a safe and non-judgemental place where people can explore the Christian faith together and see how it can be lived out each day. The course offers an opportunity to approach and explore the great issues of faith not through persuasion, but through contemplation and discussion with a group of like-minded fellow travellers. It assumes very little prior understanding or knowledge, making it accessible to people at any stage of their Christian journey. You can find out more about Pilgrim here<\/a>.
