Welcome

Welcome to this open, uncluttered, unhasty space. Here, my published work finds a home, as does everything you need to know about The Wisdom Project, a multi-aspected, nonpartisan initiative that delves into many areas. There’s more, too, ranging from theology to politics to the arts to book reviews..., well pretty much whatever I have been commissioned to write or places I have roamed. You will also find many in-depth interviews with fascinating people.

The Wisdom Project

Since 2002, The Wisdom Project has focused on developing wisdom-based intercultural relations between Christians and Muslims and international relations between the United States and Muslim Middle East states.

Writings

You will find my articles, editorials, essays, reviews, and interviews in this section of the site. Many were commissioned, some appeared in Openings, and others are exclusive to this site. The subject matter is separated in the drop-down lists broadly by content. But because so much of what I do forges links and connections between topics, many of these pieces touch on more than one broad area. You will also find writings related to my current work on wisdom-based intercultural and international relations. Explore at your leisure.
