The Coracle Trust

Pilgrim Stories Blog

Halts for discoveries to be shared,
Maps checked, notes compared.

From of old, stories have carried the soul forward and deeper.  How our experiences map onto our understanding of faith is a critical and often bewildering fit.  Sometimes hearing another’s tale allows us,from a safe distance, to see something of our own journey and so be encouraged, stimulated or provoked.  We do not travel alone, yet our own story is always unique.

Here we halt to share our discoveries, to sense and judge what they might mean to us.  We each compare notes and asks questions about the terrain of faith.

So feel free to add your thoughts and musings alongside our own as the Coracle faith community tells some of its own stories. Click on the heading to see the complete blog entry.
