Island Sound: River and Canadian Border

island sound: For four days, the 82-year-old retired doctor was part of the first leg of a 40-day pilgrimage of canoeists and kayakers of all faiths along the 400-mile river, New England's longest, according to Metro News. The group traded cellphones for paddles to partake in a spiritual journey, the first event of its size on the river, which flows from the Canadian border to Long Island Sound. He also loved the opportunity to pray. You begin to let go of stuff, said Montgomery, of Walpole, New Hampshire. The idea came from Robert Hirschfeld, New Hampshire's bishop. The Episcopal dioceses of New England and a group called Kairos Earth organized the River of Life pilgrimage. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
