"In great deeds, something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger to consecrate ground for the vision place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar and generations that know us knot and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and won from them, shall come to this deathless field, to ponder and dream; and lo! The shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of vision pass into their souls." (Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Gettysburg: A Meditation on War and Values, Kent Gramm, p. 157.)
I am a believer in sacred space. It is wonderful to stand in places where Jesus walked, where great prophets of the past prayed and received revelation. Planning a Church History trip for your loved ones provides not only the opportunity to testify, but also the experience of which memories are made. Come visit the sacred sites of Church History and know that you will want to return again and again.
