Global Spirit Pilgrimages on TV

[naplesdon]

For anyone on the West Coast of the US there is a program airing on Link TV at 9pm on Sunday 28 June about spiritual pilgrimages. I'm unclear about the format but a friend of mine who knows the producer and knows about my Camino experience asked me to submit some quotes and photographs. Because I am headed to work at the refugio at San Anton today I declined to an invitation for an interview on air.

Is this the one about one to Lourdes,another to Japan
And one to the Ganges?

I honestly do not know, but I think it is something new and includes a panel discussion with the possibility of "call in questions." My main point to them was the Camino is nothing like what the Ganges video portrayed. For me the Camino is much more communal than a single purposed religious experience.
When I looked at some statistic for other pilgrimages, the 250,000 who are supposed to do the Camino this year looks pretty small in comparison.
One of the hosts has done some, part or all of the Camino because she has shared her "blister" stories.

Very well put.
The one i saw in series,except for the Ganges,which portrayed the totality of bleak and squalid qualitys,the Japanes was the most,democratic,showing a plurality of beliefs...
The Lourdes vid seemed down on the whole religious aspect...but then again
Perspective is in the eyes of the producer

Thank you sir!
