What Is This All About?

I am stirred and stilled by adventure. I am moved by the dance of the past and the present. After six years of seminary, I desire to trek through the land of Scripture, eye the cities of the early church, observe the relics and ruins of my religion. I long to see the paradoxes, the origins, the legacies of our faith—some for the first time, some for another gaze. I desire to walk in the path of the saints of history and step anew in the way of today’s salvation. To see God’s working in time, time past, time now, time to come.

What compels me to go is not simply to have a great adventure, or amass more experiences. It is to engage an opportunity to share the images and encounters with others who are unable to go—to hopefully bring back stories of the past choreographed with the present that may enlarge and enrich others’ view of God, themselves and the world.
