    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The passage to eternity begins on the Piccadilly Line to Cockfosters. You should be purged of the trivial and juvenile, and in pilgrim mode. You’ve prepared for a journey of more than a thousand miles by walking hills and stairs, by breaking in shoes and building calf muscles, by shedding weight and inconvenient thoughts.

    #2 The UK is also losing its belief in God. The kingdom is fast becoming a nation without a religion, and it is predicted that within fifty years, the religion brought here by the bones of Saint Pancras will become statistically invisible.

    #3 I want to experience the Church of England’s weak faith before it’s gone. I’m not a theologian, but I feel driven by something I read from Saint Augustine: Men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tide of rivers, and yet they pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought.

    #4 I began my journey by plane, with all the world’s known knowledge in my hand. But I felt that so much was still unknown, and I was excited to find out what it was.

      I want to experience the Church of England’s weak faith before it’s gone.

      I began my journey by plane, with all the world’s known knowledge in my hand. But I felt that so much was still unknown, and I was excited to find out what it was.

      #5

      I walk from the train station to the cathedral in Canterbury, and I present my blank credential to an office inside the medieval compound of the church. I get my first stamp, the emblem of a cross on a shield, imprinted on a square of the page.

      #6

      The story of Archbishop Thomas Becket is a prime example of how the church and state clashed with the shattering of a skull. The church proclaimed Thomas a martyr and a saint, and his tomb became England’s premier shrine.

      #7

      The strength of the archbishop of Canterbury is his story. He was the son of two alcoholic parents, and his childhood was miserable. He went into the ministry to find healing, and today he is one of the most prominent figures in the Church of England.

      #8

      The guide at Canterbury Cathedral was a cheeky fellow who was well attuned to the slightest slip in the attention of our small group. He pointed out the naughty secrets of the cathedral, such as the image of a mermaid or the early Starbucks logo openly displaying what looks like her genitalia.

      #9

      The city of Canterbury was the birthplace of English Christianity. The Romans left Britain more than four centuries after Julius Caesar first landed in 55 BC, and the island dissolved into clans and tribal kingdoms. The barbarians from the Continent gave their name to their new island home.
