To accompany Ramadan, the holiest month is Islam which started this week, Speaking of Faith re-released their program, Revealing Ramadan.
While I’m not Muslim, I see Ramadan as a time to learn more about Islam and how it is practiced in the U.S. and around the world. I listened to this program last year during Ramadan and it greatly helped my understanding of the spirit behind this season and this faith. I hope it helps you too.

In the next several days, I’ll be posting a series of excerpts called “Choosing to be Catholic” about my experiences being Catholic. I have been writing this essay for most of the summer, but it seems appropriate that it will be finished during Ramadan. In addition to learning more about Islam, I am trying to look at and further understand my own faith. As is commonly said, only when you know yourself can you begin to know others.
Look forward to reading more about your experiences with Catholicism.
Also, have you heard of From the Pews in the Back. Good stuff. A few friends from grad school write here.
