There’s a new podcast called Sacred & Profane hosted by two Religious Studies professors, Martien Halvorson-Taylor and Kurtis Schaeffer (University of Virginia). The podcast explores how people think and act with religion, how religion can affect our experience on almost every level, and the relationship between religion, race, and democracy.
Later in the show: Christina Anne Kilby (James Madison University) says religion, at the level of the state, the community, the family, and the individual, can provide positive resources for dealing with refugee and migrant crisis. And: Annie Blazer (William & Mary) examines how Southern congregations, both historically Black and historically white, approach the challenges of urban gentrification. She says that changing neighborhoods have even spurred some churches to transform their religious missions.
