I will not make explicit connections to Christian liturgy in this work; I hope that readers see implicit connections between pilgrimage and the télos of liturgy––a sign of the transformation of all creation by the death and resurrection of Christ.
Portions of this essay first appeared in the magazine of Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Windows (Summer/Fall, 2016).
