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.
All paths
Choose the phrase that names your present state.
Read down the list simply. Do not sort yourself by stage or try to understand the whole map at once. Begin with the path whose blue phrase most plainly names the obstacle, duty, or question before you.
