From Life in Community to Becoming a Modern-Day Pilgrim with Amy Claire Bowen AKA Pink Dress Pilgrim

Amy Claire Bowen, AKA ⁠Pink Dress Pilgrim⁠, is a queer Christian and craftsperson who set off last October on a nine-month pilgrimage from Hillfield Friary in Dorset to Holy Island in Lindisfarne and beyond. In her own words, through this pilgrimage Amy Claire is "learning to listen to the world around [her], and seeking God in all things". Cat, SCM's Faith in Action Project Worker, caught up with Amy Claire in March as she travelled through London. In this episode they talk all things pilgrimage - what led her to being a pilgrim, the joy of meeting people on the road, and how it really is the journey rather than the destination that makes all the difference. You can follow along with Amy's pilgrimage on her TikTok or Instagram at @pinkdresspilgrim.
