On August 19, my wife, Kh. Helen (Nancy) and I will be departing, Lord willing, for a pilgrimage to the holy islands of Iona and Lindisfarne, and points in between, with our friends Fr. Nicholas Alford and Kh. Becky. I won’t be posting during that time, as I hope to be as far away from a computer as possible. I do hope to record some reflections on the journey, which I will share after our return (September 3). May God grant us a safe journey.
