My son (then 13/14) and I travelled from Andalusia, across north Africa and through the Middle East during the winter of 2006/7. His interests: ancient history and football. My interests: people of different traditions living well together and cafés.
We took notes, photographs (the one at the top of this page was taken on the train journey from Damascus to Tehran – very slow, very beautiful) and recordings but they are still stashed away with the incense, local newspapers and other souvenirs we returned with.
When invited to join an inter faith visit to Bosnia in October 2009, I decided to blog as I went.
Since returning to London, I’ve added a few thoughts on the Balkans as and when. I’ve been adding a few notes from other journeys, too – most recently Pakistan and continental Europe.
I tweet on this subject most days, and these are fed through to the blog, but you can follow me directly @multifaith. I also have a slim work blog and one I keep as convener of the London Boroughs Faiths Network.
Ask if you’d like more information or contact details about anything I mention and let me know about your own multifaith / intercultural activities and reflections.
Leave a reply to say hello here – and if you blog or tweet, let me know so that I can follow you, too.

Hi !
Made it on to your site ! Fascinating; great content. Decided to respond this way to see how it works and to get my address into system. Interested in comment on Francis Younghusband. A close friend of Tom Lees’ mother (Post Green). I think mentioned in book. He is buried in churchyard at Lytchett Minster. Could say he had some input into Post Green Community ; an influence. And of course loved reading what happened to you after you left us on station at Bristol. Now pondering whether I take the plunge; time a consideration and energy. But thanks for your encouragement etc etc …. Jeanne

Hi Jeanne – great to hear from you, and I must tell Michael about the Younghusband connection. Still rather overwhelmed with work, so your comments about time and energy are well made. Let me know when the plunge has been taken – would love to keep up with your travels and writing. Catriona
