Pilgrimage leaders:

Canon Vicars Hodge

Bishop Terry Dance

The Rev. Canon Vicars Hodge

The Rev. Canon Vicars Hodge is responsible for the program of our Pilgrimage. He is the liaison between our tour operators and our group and arranges the daily itinerary.  

Vicars, an Anglican Priest with 30 years of pastoral experience who serves as Canon Missioner of the Diocese of Huron.   Vicars is retired from serving as Rector of Trinity Church, Sarnia. 
Vicars has a keen interest in the Bible, history and theology.  He will supplement the local Tour Guide’s talks, offering devotional moments and Biblical insight to the various sites we visit.  We will also have times of worship during our pilgrimage. Vicars will be available to answer questions as they arise.

This will be Vicars’ seventh pilgrimage to the Holy Land.  In 2017 he spent a 60 Day Sabbatical living at Tantur Institute, on a hill in Jerusalem overlooking Bethlehem. Asked why he keeps returning with groups to the Holy Land, Vicars usually says: "Pilgrims to the Holy Land never return home unchanged.  I am thrilled to watch as the stories of scripture come to life in their actual context and faith grows stronger.   My heart sings as I watch new friendships form between western pilgrims and the people of the land.  Pilgrimage has deep kingdom value and I feel honoured to be part of it.

The Rt. Rev. Terry Dance

The Rt. Rev. Terry Dance will share the teaching and leadership of our 2020 pilgrimage. Bishop Dance has a lifetime of experience as a pastor and teacher and a great love for contextual Bible Study.

Bishop Terry, now retired after serving for a number of years as Suffragan Bishop of Huron is kept busy with many invitations to preach, teach, and lead Bible Study.  One of Terry's well developed gifts is leading contextual Bible Study -- retelling the stories in ways that engage the listener -- and help them to enter into the narrative. +Terry will share in worship and teaching ministry during our tour. We are delighted Bishop Terry, and his wife Diane, will join this pilgrimage tour and share his gifts and insights with us.

​Canon Vicars and Bishop Terry will work together for times of worship during our Pilgrimage.  They will share in the teaching ministry -- supplementing the expert local guides who will be with us on our various excuersions.

How Many people can join this pilgrimage?

Two factors determine maximum group size:

Bus Space
We must all fit on one oversize motor coach with seating for 49 passengers including leaders.  
​
29 Seats remain available as of May 11, 2021

​Hotel Room Availability
We hold a block of 20 rooms.  When they are filled we are at the mercy of the hotels to get more rooms.  Because 2022 will be an exceptionally busy time in the Holy Land we may have difficulty obtaining hotel accommodations for later additions.  So if being part of this tour is important for you, book early!
