I think the place they're going needs to have some intrinsic significance in relation to God, not just a place away from home. I don't know if that's what you mean, but I would distinguish between a retreat and a pilgrimage based on the place they're going. <br /><br />Also, I'd say it was important to keep in mind the traveling itself on a pilgrimage, being analogous to our journey into God. Retreats don't quite have that drive. Retreats seem to be about getting away from a place rather than going somewhere.Will Edmonsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759106786222445808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-843744461861424385.post-1308093131230935392010-06-13T11:59:55.777-07:002010-06-13T11:59:55.777-07:00Hmmm that's a good idea.

Now, many people in protestant churches go on retreats or to camps where the point of the trip is not the destination nor vacation, but the time devoted to God-- usually there is not a holy place specified, but the location is a place dedicated to God's purposes (church, etc). Would you call this a pilgrimage of sorts?Esther C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13885131777517186677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-843744461861424385.post-6291803663277899922010-06-13T11:57:11.200-07:002010-06-13T11:57:11.200-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Esther C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13885131777517186677noreply@blogger.com
