Pilgrim Band

“Tom Bandy’s magnificent book takes its readers on a spiritual journey in the three stages: foundation, journey, and spirit, and develops a groundbreaking blueprint for shaping Christian community in the twenty-first century under the title ‘pilgrim band.’ A pilgrim band is ‘a mobile, adaptable, and purposeful partnership holding one another accountable for spiritual growth and holistic health.’ This new form of a spiritual community replaces traditional forms of Christianity and realizes itself—following Paul Tillich—as a religion of the concrete Spirit in everyday life and in mutual mentoring on the journey through time.”
