The Most Rev. Sarah Mullally, incoming Archbishop of Canterbury, begins a six-day, 87-mile walking pilgrimage from London to Canterbury on the historic Becket Camino.
This spiritual preparation echoes ancient pilgrims journeying to Canterbury Cathedral for her March 25 installation, joining her husband Eamon along the route.
“As I prepare for my installation at Canterbury Cathedral, it feels deeply humbling to be following in the footsteps of those who have walked this ancient route,” Mullally said.
“For centuries, faithful pilgrims have flocked to Canterbury, and I will be reflecting on this tradition as we make our way through the Kent countryside and its towns and cities.”
“As people from around the wider Anglican Communion prepare to come to Canterbury for the Archbishop’s Installation, it will be a joy to approach this occasion on foot and rooted in prayer,” said the Rev. Richard Braddy.
