A Pilgrim Chapter in Atlanta?

I met today with Chris Sanders, a 2002 Pilgrim living here in Atlanta. We are discussing the idea of starting a chapter of the American Friends of the Camino to raise awareness about the Camino here in the metro Atlanta area.
Possible ideas include:

• Presentations to civic groups about the Camino and our experiences
• Promoting the Camino as a long distance hiking destination
• Providing consulting and advice for potential pilgrims from the Atlanta area
• Events for pilgrim alumni to gather and share
• Book exchange on the Camino

If you are interested in joining us or have suggestions, please respond to this post with your ideas and contact information. I have added a link to Chris' website because it is chock full of great information.

PRAYER OF THE PILGRIM (Los Arcos)

"Lord, you who called your servant Abraham out of the town of Ur in Chaldea
and who watched over him during all his wanderings; you who guided the Jewish
people through the desert; we pray for you to watch your servants, who
for the love of your name, make a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

Be for us,
a companion on our journey
the guide on our intersections
the strengthening during fatigue
the fortress in danger
the resource on our itinerary
the shadow in our heat
the light in our darkness
the consolation during dejection
and the power of our intention

so that we under your guidance, safely and unhurt, may reach the end of our journey,
and strengthened with gratitude and power, secure and filled with happiness,
may join our home, for Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Amen.

Apostle James, pray for us
Holy Virgin, pray for us"
