Early Christianity, May 2008
A pilgrimage led by our rector,
the Rev. Dr. Richard Laribee

Come deepen your faith with us as we visit Rome, Constantinople (Istanbul), Ephesus, Athens, and other sites!

Beginning in Rome, we'll use the Carnival cruise ship Freedom as our base of operations to explore a number of sites of early Christianity in Turkey, Greece and Italy. (See Photo Gallery for an idea of what we'll explore in these locations.!)

Unlike the typical schlepping around of our gear from bus to hotel to bus to hotel characteristic of most tours to Europe and the Middle East, we'll unpack only once, and do most of our traveling while we sleep in the same bed every night!

Freedom



Here's Our Plan

  • Fly to Rome, and board the ship
  • Explore Early Christian sites at most ports of call
