The webpage presents the pilgrimage as a spiritually grounded journey of encounter and mutual transformation, building on the WCC’s Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace, launched in 2013, and expanded at the WCC 11th Assembly in Karlsruhe in 2022.

At the heart of the new resource is a s ee –reflect-act methodology, encouraging communities to engage honestly with their contexts, reflect through Scripture and prayer, and respond through concrete action. The webpage also introduces practical tools, theological resources, case studies, and approaches for pilgrimage encounters, including listening circles, context walks, justice mapping, public witness, healing liturgies, and peace tables.

Zanimljivo je što spominju "see-reflect-act" metodologiju, to liči na ono što već radimo na našim parohijskim grupama kad idemo u posete domovima. Da li su u te slučajeve uključili i neke primere iz pravoslavnih crkava, posebno iz Srbije? Bilo bi korisno videti konkretan primer.

The "see-reflect-act" part does sound a lot like what our parish groups do when we visit homes, just like Sofija said. I wonder if they included any concrete Orthodox examples from Serbia or elsewhere — a listening circle or healing liturgy from an actual parish would make the resources feel more grounded. It would be useful to see one.

To brzmi sensownie, zwłaszcza ta see-reflect-act. U nas na parafii w Lublinie też tak mniej więcej robimy, jak idziemy z kolędą albo odwiedzać starszych – najpierw patrzymy co u człowieka, potem pomodlimy się razem, a na końcu zostawiamy konkretną pomoc. Ciekawe, czy w tych case studies jest coś z polskich prawosławnych parafii, bo u nas to wychodzi naturalnie z codziennego życia.

У нас в Самаре в сестричестве тоже часто ходим по домам к пожилым и больным, и этот see-reflect-act очень похож на то, что делаем: сначала посмотрим, как человек живёт, потом почитаем Евангелие или помолимся, а потом уже помогаем чем можем — продуктами или просто послушаем. Интересно, есть ли в их примерах что-то из жизни обычных приходов Московского Патриархата, а не только общие слова.

I like this see-reflect-act, we also in Batumi, in St. Nino's brotherhoods, when we visit the elderly or the sick, first of all we look at the condition of the house and the person, then we pray together and finally we leave what we can - bread, medicines or just time. I wonder if there is really any specific example from our church.
