Walking With Communities
A 30-year Global and Local Health and Healing Pilgrimage
Ian Campbell, Alison Rader Campbell & Robin Rader
This is a glocal and local journey of integrated mission in stories and images. Encounters during a walk the South West Coast Path are linked to community conversaions in every region of the world, and lead to reflection on themes that emerge. The 630-mile walk took 28 days in June 2018; the community conversations occured during 30 years of global health-relate community development; the themes, revolving around the resilience and capacity of people and and communities to deal with crisis and conflict when appropriately accompanied in their own homes and neighbourhoods, have never been more relevant.
Each of the 24 chapters represents one days' walk, and each is a synthesis of learning around one theme, to which the global and South West Coast Path stories point. Each chapter concluded with questions that take the reader forward to living out what has been learnt.
Persons of any culture who are longing for the healing presence of God's grace where they live will find the stories and images inspiring, and the questions a springboard to local application. Community development professionals, programme officers and persons of faith will in the themes the fruit of experiential learning, which will both encourage and challenge, as it shares signposts to authentic, relational integrated mission.
