On this weekend’s State of Belief, with Welton Gaddy:
John Buehrens and Rebecca Ann Parker join us in studio to discuss theology behind progressive politics, the importance of worship to social activism, and other topics from their book ‘A House of Hope: The Promise of Progressive Religion for the 21st Century’; Gary Laderman, professor of religion at Emory University and director of Religion Dispatches, speaks about the religious qualities of World Cup fervor and challenges conventional notions of the sacred; and Eboo Patel, founder and executive director of Interfaith Youth Core, tells about his work with the Dalai Lama to strengthen Muslim-Buddhist understanding.
