tyrrek said:My experience has been that members of the clergy don't display it at all (no dog collars etc - extra weight! ), but just want to be treated as pilgrims like everyone else unless their vocation becomes relevant.
Although our respective confessions are not in full communion, clearly there are multiple paths to fraternity! Perhaps one day we shall lift a glass together.Portia1 said:I am an Episcopal priest so I am not allowed to receive the Sacraments in the Roman Catholic church--though I was invited to at least twice. Since I shared bread and wine with fellow pilgrims every single day (and sometimes twice), I took that as my daily communion practice.
Brought Jesus and the money changers to mind???Portia1 said:I was stunned in Santiago when the tour groups were allowed in on Sunday morning before the mass but pilgrims wanting to pray were asked to stay outside.
Thank you. That is ultimately my prayer and desire for this pilgrimage.Portia1 said:As far as identity, I agree with the others--it was a journey of faith for me and my vocation was not something I promoted because it was my time. This was my sabbath time.... This was a life affecting journey in so many ways. It has shaped and profoundly changed my preaching.
I downloaded the Kindle version and started this morning based on your question. This looks to be a good read. Thank you.oregonwalker said:Have you read "To the Field of Stars" by Father Kevin Codd? It was one of the first couple of books about the Camino that I read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He didn't reveal himself as a priest unless asked about it.
Bishop Conley, formerly an auxiliary bishop with the Archdiocese of Denver, was also on that same trip. It was partly Bishop Conley's witness to his Camino that helped inspire me to consider it.oursonpolaire said:The curious may enjoy a photo in the October 12, 2012, entry (http://dioceseofgallup.org/bishopwallblog/) to see what the RC Bishop of Gallup wears, and could perhaps provide him with useful advice for his kit for his next Camino.
In another thread, falcon269 showed me the following link to a Google Map that shows all the parishes and their Mass times.oursonpolaire said:Almost every village church on the Camino was open in the evenings for Mass, usually about 7-- in five Caminos I have yet to find a village church without an evening service.
The Queen's Chaplain attended many services, but said he did not take communion because he knew the Catholic Church did not permit it, and he respected that.Anglican clerics saying their offices at the back of churches, or on the porch, and the cathedral in Santiago has, at least on one occasion, made an altar available for use by a Church of England bishop leading a group of pilgrims.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. Until in conversation our jobs/vocations are discussed, or until pilgrims need spiritual support of whatever kind. Buen Camino!koilife said:Vocation is never irrelevant, but I get the point.
