This new pilgrimage has been designed to address the call to retrieve the Franciscan intellectual tradition. Beginning in Canterbury, this pilgrimage is an opportunity to learn about some of the great English Franciscan scholars by visiting the historical centres in England where their spirit can be felt even today. Pilgrims will spend time with the lives/theologies of John Duns Scotus, Haymo of Faversham, William of Ockham, Roger Bacon, Peckham and more modern-day theologians such as Davenport and Eric Doyle.
Lectures will address the coming of friars to England and Cambridge, the origin of the intellectual tradition, the Oxford tradition, and the Age of Controversies, the Reformation and the Persecution.
