Tuesday Book Club Title for February

Join us at the February 8th meeting of the Killingworth Library Tuesday Book Discussion Group as we discuss A Pilgrimage to Eternity: from Canterbury to Rome in Search of a Faith by Timothy Egan. Moved by his mother’s death and his Irish Catholic family’s complicated history with the church, Timothy Egan decided to follow in the footsteps of centuries of seekers to force a reckoning with his own beliefs. He embarked on a thousand-mile pilgrimage through the theological cradle of Christianity to explore the religion in the world that it created. Egan sets out along the Via Francigena, once the major medieval trail leading the devout to Rome, and travels overland via the alpine peaks and small mountain towns of France, Switzerland and Italy, accompanied by a quirky cast of fellow pilgrims and by some of the towering figures of the faith–Joan of Arc, Henry VIII, Martin Luther. The goal: walking to St. Peter’s Square, in hopes of meeting the galvanizing pope who is struggling to hold together the church through the worst crisis in half a millennium.

Extra copies will be available at the circulation desk.

Meeting location to be determined. Newcomers always welcome!
