February Faith Lecture
St. Paul’s Cathedral
Sunday February 22, 2015
7:30 pm
CAN THERE BE A MIDDLE TO THE MIDDLE EAST?
The Rev. Canon Dr. Richard LeSueur
In the wake of another tragic episode of violence between Gaza and Israelthis past summer, and disturbing trends sweeping across Syria and Iraq, one wonders whether this region can ever know peace. In this one address Richard will draw on his first-hand experience of recent history in Israel/Palestine, and provide an overview of the past century with maps and charts that illustrate the fundamental changes underway.
The Rev. Canon Dr. Richard LeSueur
Richard is a former resident of Jerusalem. He continues to facilitate programs of pilgrimage and study in the biblical lands annually. He was the former Director of the Desert Program at St. George’s College, Jerusalem, and serves as adjunct faculty with Trinity College, Toronto. He is the rector of St. George, Cadboro Bay, Victoria.

OUR NAME
IS
PILGRIM
A Workshop at St. Paul’s Cathedral with The Rev. Canon Dr. Richard LeSueur
360 Nicola St. Kamloops BC
Monday February 23 2015
9:30 am – 11:30 am
A new reality has quietly but powerfully come on the stage of Western experience. It is being described as a renaissance in pilgrimage. Thousands of footfalls are occurring on the ancient routes. One cannot know whether the attraction is towards the new and novel, the physical challenge, curiosity, or whether something deeper is taking place. Has a searching and longing in our culture in turn become a journeying? For decades the Christian community has been singing hymns of being a people on a journey, fellow travellers on the road. Perhaps that is truer today than ever before. In multiple ways, a contemporary rediscovery is underway that our name is indeed, pilgrim.
Join us at the Cathedral for this exploration of the practice of pilgrimage. It is a free event and all are welcome!.
Please pre-register by calling: 250 372 3912 or by emailing stpaulscathedral@shawbiz.ca
Richard LeSueur has been facilitating programs of pilgrimage for more than 30 years, principally in the Middle East.

He serves as adjunct faculty with Trinity College, Toronto and is rector of St. George, Cadboro Bay, Victoria.
