While a fellow in the engaged scholars program, Kathleen studied the experience of divorce in congregations across religious traditions. Rutgers University Press recently (2014) published her book based on this research: Sacred Divorce: Religion, Therapeutic Culture, and Ending Life Partnerships. Kathleen’s current research project examines the experience of parents and their emerging adult children from across Europe, Canada, and the United States who walk the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Northwest Spain. In this ethnographic project, as in Sacred Divorce and her first book, Awesome Families: The Promise of Healing Relationships in the International Churches of Christ (Rutgers University Press 2005), Kathleen explores the relationship between contemporary kinship, religious practice and therapeutic culture.
