"Heading Home: A 21st Century Pilgrimage" — Documentary Screening & Discussion

This event includes a 35-minute screening of the documentary film "Heading Home: A 21st Century Pilgrimage," a performance by Christian rapper Street Hymns, and a panel discussion with the filmmaker and others involved in the documentary. It is free and open to the public.

"Heading Home: A 21st Century Pilgrimage" is a documentary film by award-winning filmmaker Jody Hassett Sanchez. It chronicles the more than four-thousand-mile pilgrimage of a small group of Christians from all walks of life (including JBU president Dr. Chip Pollard). The two-week journey, led by philanthropist and author Roberta Ahmanson, covers almost 2,000 years of church art and architecture.

The film invites viewers to join these pilgrims as they experience many of the world’s most magnificent churches and cathedrals, starting at the 4th century Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, then on to Rome, Pisa, Florence, Bologna, Ravenna, Venice, Torcello, and Aachen before winding up this incredible adventure at the 20th century Temple Church in London. Along the way, these pilgrims learn how artists, architects and theologians worked in parallel for many centuries — from Saint Augustine’s vision of a New Jerusalem to Dante’s admonitions about the Last Judgment.
