As I reflected on what to include in an autobiography of my religious and spiritual development, I think of five steps of growth in my life of faith.

In her groundbreaking work, “Trace,” Lauret Savoy argues that land and regional social norms are deeply intertwined with the past. Within a conception of Nature that is predominantly ecological and anthropocentric, Savoy’s contention that racial minorities and people of mixed heritage are disposed to feelings of alienation and struggles of identity, because of a long history of cultural erasure and suppression, is undeniably valid. She revises Alexander Cronon’s argument, in his work “Uncommon…

This study is based on conceptual framework from Donabedian (1966) McCkorkle et al. 2011.
