Pilgrim launches British Christian heritage tours for 2014

Friday, 28 Aug, 2013 0

The history of England is intertwined with the history of the church, and Pilgrim Tours is bringing the two together in two "Best of Britain & Christian Heritage" tours next year.

The tours include religious as well as secular sites in England and Scotland, from Hampton Court Palace, where James I commissioned the King James Version of the Bible in 1604; to Westminster Abbey, where most British Kings and Queens since 1066 have been crowned; to Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle, where thousands flocked to the 19th century revival meetings of Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon; to Salisbury cathedral, whose builders claimed it to be "so great a church to the glory of God that those who come after us will think us mad even to have attempted it"; to the Neolithic monument of Stonehenge, which dates back to 2800 BC.

There’s also a visit to St. Andrews, whose Royal and Ancient Golf Club, founded in 1754, gave the world another source of devotion, the game of golf.  

The 10-day tours depart August 12 and September 23, 2014. Prices are $2988 for the August departure and $3098 for September, not including airfare
