[God is speaking]"... Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hands of the wicked." They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
This is a Psalm which makes use of an ancient conception that there are many Gods, in sort of a Divine Parliment. This Psalm tells us the need for justice and righteousness applies in "Heaven" as it does on Earth. "False Gods" are recognizable by their unrighteousness.
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is one ..." As we walk to Jerusalem, we should keep in mind our God is a God of justice and equity. All the nations, ultimately, belong to the one God.
Sharing the Journey: Christ Church Episcopal in Anchorage, AK has embarked on a pilgrimage and even just a couple of days into it, there have been inspiring stories of a broader sense of God in the midst of our lives. This is a place to share your stories and to keep track of our progress. Welcome!
The Route to Jerusalem
It's 6007 miles of movement and meditation.

Come Celebrate!
On Sunday March 30th, we will celebrate our arrival in Jerusalem with special music at our 10:30 service. Please plan to join us at Christ Church Episcopal, 5101 O'Malley, Rd, Anchorage, Alaska.
Where are we now?
At the end of week ten as of March 16th, we are 5530 miles into our journey, which means we are in Turkey and less than 500 miles from Jerusalem. We will walk through the Holy Land during Holy Week and should arrive in Jerusalem right on schedule by Easter.
