A group of 34 clergy and laity made a nine-day pilgrimage to Turkey and Greece, led by Bishop Tracy S. Malone. Participants walked where Paul ministered in Laodicea, Hierapolis, Ephesus, Corinth and Athens. They also visited cities of five of the seven churches that the disciple John wrote about in the Book of Revelation.
