Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler: New PBS Series

Author Bruce Feiler (Walking the Bible) launches a new series with PBS this month called Sacred Journeys.

Over six episodes, Feiler travels with contemporary pilgrims to important sacred sites like Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Lourdres in France, and Shikoku in Japan. He also visits the great Hindu festival Kumbh Mela in India and the the festival of Osun-Osgobo, which takes place every year in Osogbo, Nigeria.

The series PBS site also includes educational resources with short clips about each religion featured in the pilgrimages.

You can read a great review of the series by Kimberly Winston at the Religion News Service. And you see an interview with Feiler from PBS Religion & Ethics Newsweekly here.

The series premiers in many cities on Tuesday, December 16th.
