Around the world in 80 faiths. Rituals
Description
Returning to his home continent, Pete finds a number of unexpected rituals and sects, including underground New Age temples in Italy and shamans in Norway. Pete ends his religious odyssey in Europe, his home continent, where he discovers a series of unexpected and surprising rituals and sects: huge underground New Age temples in Italy, shamans in Norway, and Europe's only Buddhist republic. He also discovers a darker side to faith in the tumultuous history of religion in Europe and finds that his own church was responsible for intolerance, persecution and death. This turns out to be a troubling and deeply personal journey for Pete, however, and he questions how he will adapt when he returns to his own parish.
