The Blue Pilgrims
“By Love, Serve”
Beatrice Hankey gathered a group of young women together as disciples of Christ. They met together to study and learn the bible, and went out to serve people, undertaking special missions to give help in response to particular needs. Within the group, members found (and still find) fellowship, friendship and acceptance. There were (and are) no codified rules, no formal status and no fixed and limited objectives that members had to achieve. The simple call is, ‘By love, serve’.
