Jill's Photo &Travel Blog

My ministries are varied, but they connect through
Faith, Hope, and Love Global Ministries,
a non-profit that seeks to inspire, teach, and encourage ministers and leaders,
equipping them to serve Christ more effectively.
In 2009, I celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of my ordination.

My first seven books focused on labyrinth praying.
I am now seeking to publish
"What Was I Thinking?" a memoir of 38 day walk on the Spanish Camino,
several projects relating to praying in the Chartres Cathedral,
and new articles and books on labyrinth prayer.

While spending as much time as I can in Chartres, France
I continue to think and pray about how to make the cathedral more accessible
to the multitudes of pilgrims who come to pray
at this extraordinary thirteenth century church.

My current research, writing and photography projects relate to
Mary as she is understood through sculpture, glass, and devotion at Chartres,
the cathedral labyrinth which was laid in the floor in 1201 C.E.,
and the experience of praying at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I co-lead pilgrimages at the cathedral in both English and French.

Combining image and word
in service of my goal to help others make significant connections with God
is a joy!
My photographs are finding their way into books,
magazines,
websites,
and private collections.

My work as a Labyrinth Ambassador took me to four continents last year.
I continue to say yes to opportunities
to introduce others to labyrinth prayer,
publish my findings and stories,
to present on labyrinth-related topics at conferences and retreats,
and to build labyrinths.
Of course I walk as many labyrinths as I can find,
and I photograph them all!

It is also my privilege to serve on Ph.D. committees as an adjunct professor,
and to work as a consultant for various students &
and others committed to serious exploration.
