Exploring Pilgrimage with Rev. Cecie Suknaic

In this episode we welcome back Rev. Cecie Suknaic to discuss her transformative experience with the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) and the insights gained from a pilgrimage hosted by The 787 Collective in Austin's Clarksville community. The conversation explores themes of moral responsibility, community, and the role of pilgrimage in spiritual growth. Cecie reflects on the importance of understanding history, the challenges of ministry, and the need for intentionality in spiritual practices. The discussion also highlights the potential for young adult ministry to engage in pilgrimage as a means of fostering connection and transformation.If you'd like to participate in a pilgrimage, or bring a pilgrimage experience to your city, email Rudy Logan ([email protected]).References from this episode:Gather NetworkGather AustinFellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE)Progressive Youth MinistryChapters00:00 Introduction and Fellowship Overview03:08 Reflections on the FASB Fellowship Experience05:50 The Importance of Responsibility in Ministry08:48 Pilgrimage and Local Context in Austin11:57 Understanding Clarksville's History15:07 The Nature of Pilgrimage vs. Tourism17:52 Theological Reflections on Community and History23:43 Embracing Humility in Faith28:40 The Transformative Power of Pilgrimage34:09 Community and Intentionality in Spiritual Growth38:57 Collaborative Pilgrimage Planning40:30 Reflections on Spiritual Experiences and Beauty
