Chemin du Mont Saint-Michel, Argentan-MSM (2013)
Hello pilgrim friends,
I walked the camino del norte, Irùn-Finisterra in 2010 and it was a very formative experience. Questions about pilgrim spirituality still present themselves to me.
I am a Churches of Christ minister, Army chaplain, and now a Master of Theology student. Currently I am constructing a research proposal for a project to undertake on the camino. The tentative topic of the research is: The spiritual value of religious practice: why people undertake Christian pilgrimage, an extended case study of the camino de Santiago.
I understand that this forum has had its fair share of people posting to further their own agendas, and I hope to avoid that pitfall.
At this stage, I am only asking for help in proposing my research and not carrying it out. First I want to be sure that it meets certain criteria, including that the research would not be unethical or counterproductive. To this end, could you help me navigate ethical and practical concerns I have about operationalising the spirituality of the camino (i.e. making the camino and pilgrims into research subjects).
Any responses, especially from the poll would be valued greatly. This information will be included with my proposal but not in the research itself.
