Each unit or "station stop" in the resource draws participants into a specific situation (for example, that of Orthodox churches in Eastern Europe, or Dalit Christians in India) and focuses on a key ecumenical theme (unity, mission, peace, justice, prayer, discipleship).

While the Leader's Guide offers coordinators deep background on the sites, themes and issues of each unit, along with links to further resource material, the Participant's Guide structures the reflection and discussion and suggests possibilities for practical engagement that are at the heart of the "pilgrimage."
