Eucharist at pilgrimage venues and evening prayer at the College are prepared and celebrated with the participation of course members. The College is fully inclusive and ecumenical, and all are invited to participate in College worship. In addition, weekday and Sunday Eucharist may be celebrated with Jerusalem’s Anglican community at St. George’s Cathedral nearby.

St. George’s College Jerusalem has a commitment to adult education in a pilgrimage context, through academic excellence and experiential learning. Lectures at the College with qualified teaching staff are complemented by field excursions throughout the country. Attention to the Bible and to the life and times of Jesus does not distract us from the urgent social and religious issues of our own time. course members visit the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) and the Dome of the Rock in the contexts of paying attention to interfaith issues regarding Judaism and Islam. Most importantly, provision is made for hearing the voices of Palestinians and Israelis as they struggle for justice and peace in their land.
