Description

In this episode we welcome back Rev. Cecie Suknaic to discuss her transformative experience with the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) and the insights gained from a pilgrimage hosted by The 787 Collective in Austin's Clarksville community. The conversation explores themes of moral responsibility, community, and the role of pilgrimage in spiritual growth. Cecie reflects on the importance of understanding history, the challenges of ministry, and the need for intentionality in spiritual practices. The discussion also highlights the potential for young adult ministry to engage in pilgrimage as a means of fostering connection and transformation.

If you'd like to participate in a pilgrimage, or bring a pilgrimage experience to your city, email Rudy Logan (rlogan@austinseminary.edu).
