Research Project

Josie is currently undertaking research into people's "journeys of faith" particularly in regard to interruption of that faith and the meaning of a possible alternative journey. The research will centre on people's experience of orthodoxy, most particularly Christian and Jewish, and the interrupted journey toward potential heterodoxy and alternative beliefs.

If you are interested in participating, please email Josie to obtain more information. All participants will be given pseudonyms and complete confidentiality is assured.
