Children of Abraham

Kathleen Rolenz and Wayne Arnason created this blog to document reflections and experiences on a sabbatical journey studying the interaction of the "Children of Abraham", the faiths and cultures of Islam, Judaism and Christianity historically and in the present day. The blog started in late September 2011 in Barcelona, continues in Andalusia, Spain, and then moves on to Israel, Palestine, and Turkey.
