About Me
- Chris Herlinger
- I'm a freelance journalist based in New York City who writes about humanitarian and religious issues for the news agencies Ecumenical News International and Religion News Service (through which my work has appeared in major U.S. dailies such as the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times) and am also a regular contributor to The Christian Century, National Catholic Reporter and the website of PBS's Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly. My blog's title, "El Viajero," refers to my traveling in the world, particularly for the humanitarian organization Church World Service, where I work as a writer. I have covered emergencies and post-emergency recoveries in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo, El Salvador, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, the Palestinian Territories, Pakistan and Darfur, Sudan. I also have a strong interest in Colombia, the subject of my recently completed master's thesis at Cambridge University in the UK. I am a graduate of Macalester College in Minnesota, hold a master's degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York City and in the spring of 2005 was a resident fellow at Harvard Divinity School.
