Last we updated you on our journey, we were about to leave Kathmandu for Pokhara. We all arrived safely in Pokhara on Monday to the view of a beautiful lake, surrounded by mountains. The pace is less frenetic and it is much less crowded, the air is cleaner and it...

It’s almost the end of summer and many have traveled somewhere, or may try squeezing something in over the Labor Day weekend. These journeys are meant to bring us to beautiful places, grant us restoration, time with loved ones, renewal of relationships, and...

It’s a new era for Coracle. Our little boat is growing. For years, our staff has been made up of people who give part of their time to Coracle and part of their time to other professional roles. It was a great beginning and that structure served us very well. ...

Recently I returned with Heather Strube from Southeast Asia having done a strange mission trip with Coracle: offering spiritual direction and formation in a far off land with those bringing Jesus in even farther off lands! That doesn’t happen without some context....

“SOOOO… How was the CAMINO??” When I have been posed this question over the last few weeks since I’ve been back, I allow myself a long pause before responding. There is so much to say, so much I could relate about all that God did while walking 70 miles with 5 other...

by: Katie Kallam Going into my pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I knew that I would encounter holy places, sites where Jesus walked, where he lived and died, but I knew very little about the modern Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I...

By John G. Gardner, Coracle Fellow ’17 NOTES FROM A PILGRIMAGE Several weeks ago, I had the privilege to be part of a pilgrimage jointly led by Telos and Coracle to Israel and Palestine. Rather than only visiting the holy sites connected with Jesus’ life, we...

Sometimes I struggle with the dual nature of Christ: fully God and fully man. For me, it’s easier to see him as divine than as human. It keeps Him at a comfortable distance. From March 28 – April 6 I traveled with a group of 25 other pilgrims in the Holy Land...

The slum of Danaseri in Kathmandu, Nepal is a sacred place on par with the island of Iona in Scotland, St. Peter’s in Rome, Jerusalem, and Lourdes. Danaseri doesn’t look like much at the first glance. It looks like a place you wouldn’t want to go to or spend much time...

To the American mind, the caste system is almost impossible to comprehend. Because of our Declaration of Independence it is engrained (though inconsistently applied) in our national psyche that ‘all men are created equal’. In Nepal because of Hinduism, this is not...
