  Dan,
  Thanks for your kind words on our new blog for the Spirituality, Religion, and Psychiatry Caucus of the APA. John Peteet has been a friend for years, and so I did offer to help with set up and blog editor. We hope to provide a venue for connecting people and ideas, in an international and multifaith forum like this. Your own work through the years has been greatly appreciated by many of us…Steve Mory, MD
