My New Article for The Good Men Project: At Bethany on the Jordan
The Good Men Project just published my article, "At Bethany on the Jordan," a short piece I wrote after encountering a monk at the Jordan river in the place where Jesus was baptized.
From the article: In the summer of 2006 I visited Jordan to give a 3-day workshop on “Writing for the Web” for local journalists, students, and writers. At the time, I was working for the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs as a Web Content Manager; an affiliated program in Jordan was hosting the event at the Mövenpick Resort and Spa Dead Sea. On the final day, our visiting group had some free time, so we drove out to tour the Jordan river. The next day I wrote this e-mail to friends and family.

A Christian Arabic monk was praying for me beside the Jordan River near where John baptized Jesus while my Muslim friend was translating.
