A site to muse on Christian Spirituality, Church History, and other things of interest to me.
Aleppo Trip
This Gallery contains pictures from my five week stay with the Syrian Orthodox Church in Aleppo, Syria during the
month of February in 2007. Select a folder to view the pictures from that area or site.
I have worked as a Software Engineer since 1978 and in 2001
began work on a dual degree program in Near Eastern Antiquities and Religious Studies.
After graduation I embarked on a Religious Studies studies degree at Missouri State
University and completed that degree in May 2011. The focus of my studies was Syriac
Patristics and my thesis centered upon a fourth century writer of Syriac Christianity
known as Aphrahat. On this site I am particularly interested in exploring questions
sparked by my studies that I was unable to explore in my thesis. Questions that deal
with my own understanding of Christian spirituality, beliefs, and ethics.
