Bruce Feiler on new PBS show 'Sacred Journeys'
Two hundred million people go on pilgrimages each year, and in his new program on PBS, Bruce Feiler goes on six.
From the waters of Kumbh Mela to the center of Shikoku, Feiler connects with American pilgrims on their quest to get closer to their God in "Sacred Journeys."
From the Boston Globe:
"For most of human history, our identity was given to us," Feiler says. "When you were born, you got the religion of your parents, and often their profession. Even your spouse was given to you. "But over the last 200 years, each of those things has broken down. We can now pick where we want to live, our partner, our gender identity." Religion, he says, is "late to the game" of self-determination, "but it's happening now."
