In Sympathy: Lora Zink
Rev. Lora Zink, a retired member of the Northern Illinois Conference, passed away on Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025.
Participants will explore sacred religious sites, experience India's rich spiritual heritage, and deepen their understanding of faith in a new and profound way. This pilgrimage will not only take us to sacred sites. It will also provide a deeper understanding of nationalism in India and the diverse religious traditions that shape the country’s spiritual and social landscape. Through this journey, we will engage with India’s rich history, exploring how faith, culture, and identity have intertwined over the centuries.
The virtual Information Meeting will provide more details and answer questions. This session will cover the itinerary, costs, logistics, and the broader themes of the pilgrimage. Please bring your questions, thoughts, and an open heart as we discuss this incredible journey together.
