From a pilgrimage to encounters
Steps toward peace
For six months each year, a Friend from the Netherlands walks ‘for and toward inner peace’. Lucas de Groot walks, from April until November, with a cart, a harp and a tent. His pilgrimage takes him through Britain, Germany, Switzerland and Holland.
On 1 April he set off from York and is currently journeying around Pendle Hill, Ulverston, Lancaster, Birmingham, Bath, Glastonbury, Winchester and Kent – ‘not straight but mostly where God will bring me’.
Along the way he plans to make contact with Quaker Meetings, ‘to inspire and get inspired… for exchange, worship and, perhaps, shelter’.
