Pilgrims and Migrants

The Way 60/1 (January 2021), Pilgrims and Migrants

‘We go seeking a city that we shall never find.’ This line from John Masefield’s poem ‘The Seekers’ might suggest a despairing cry on an impossible quest. Yet the poem as a whole speaks rather of an inspiring ideal, the dream of the City of God, that draws the eponymous seekers onwards despite all the hardships they encounter. Many of the contributors to this issue of The Way consider the journeys of those similarly drawn onwards, by choice or by necessity, whether on pilgrimage or in seeking a better and fuller life.
