Why Do Non-Religious People Walk the Camino de Santiago?

Why do so many people walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain? This ancient pilgrimage route has been walked by devout Christians for centuries but it is now a walk that many "spiritual but not religious" people travel. I intend to find out why!  In my book *Belief without Borders: Inside the Minds of the Spiritual but not Religious* I interviewed hundreds of SBNRs and learned why they consider religion non-essential for spiritual growth. I learned what they reject in Christianity, but also what beliefs they do hold.  I'll be taking this research "on the road" to find out more. Follow my journey this June and see what I find out!

  5. Thank you for your good wishes. We will also appreciate prayer, if you are so inclined. No injuries, mishaps, or problems at home, is what we are praying for, and of course spiritual in-filling and joy.
