About this Blog

Pilgrim Without a Shrine began in early 2007 as a personal foray into the blogosphere. At some point I stopped posting because I ran out of time to write and was questioning whether reflections on my journey through life were really worth posting on the Internet.

In January 2008, the blog was re-launched with a tighter focus. Those of you who know me personally are aware that my pilgrimage through life has passed through the Islamic world. For the time being this blog will be focused on my reflections on Islam, the Middle East, and the situation in Palestine. Hopefully these reflections will draw people into a conversation about this part of the world, and perhaps prod people toward actions that will promote peace.

I write as a Christian, but do not pretend to speak for Christians or Christianity as a whole. I can only speak from my own experiences, learning, and biases. Your comments are welcome and encouraged!
