Pilgrim Paths
Guided roads for souls at different stages of the pilgrimage.
Choose with simplicity
Begin where the need is clearest.
The Pilgrim Paths are not separate cities. They are guided roads within the one City, offered so that a soul may begin with the question, fear, duty, or wound most pressing upon it.
Choose one path and follow it patiently. The other roads will remain open when Providence shows that they are needed.
