Pilgrim Band

“Bandy provides an analysis that highlights the perennial human need to feel connected with the sacred. He describes how, as our inner compass seeks guidance and growth, we often find a resonance with someone who becomes our mentor. Together, and often with others in similar relationships (our Pilgrim Band), we move as one toward a deeper harmony. He suggests it is this, not the institutional church, that underlies the significance and inevitability of worship.”
