• Welcome to RogerSteer.com

    I see you and me as pilgrims in a beautiful, intriguing and often perplexing world. We have inherited political, cultural, social and religious stories. How are we to make sense of them? You have a unique story to tell – a unique perspective from which to view the world. You are invited to tell your story and to share your insights at this website. I think of myself as a pilgrim in pursuit of goodness, truth, beauty and genuine insight. I hope you will engage in the discussion of my blog, books, features and articles – especially if you are on a similar pilgrimage.
