From the editor:

Welcome to this new collection of Bible reflections. The saying solvitur ambulando – ‘it is solved by walking’ – is attributed to various sages, most commonly St Augustine of Hippo. The one-time Bishop of Durham, H.C.G. Moule (1841–1920) added two words to the saying: solvitur ambulando cum Deo: It is solved by walking with God.* In late October 2020 I walked part of the South West Coast Path. This was to be a walking retreat – time to reflect, time to go deeper. As it turned out, wind, hail, mud, missing signposts, slippery rocks and rain that turned my maps to pulp meant that my only thoughts were how to stay upright and how to find my way. Meditation, no. Reflection, no. Two contributors to this issue, SuperAger Angela Lucas and poet Victoria Field, have walked the Camino, the ancient pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela. For both of them – and for me – the real wisdom of our walks came only after we’d arrived at our destination and loosened our boots. At the end of her book about her Camino pilgrimage,** Victoria writes: ‘Something changed. My faith deepened. The veil is increasingly thinner and I see through it more often.’ Whether we knew it at the time or not, it is solved by walking with God.
