Robert Wuthnow, Professor of Sociology at Princeton and the Director of the Center for the Study of Religion, has been observing and analyzing American approaches to religion for some decades now.  His distinction of “dwelling” and “seeking” is probably the most helpful way of thinking about attitudes to religion and spirituality today.

Wuthnow explains by saying that there are two mentalities, one interested in stability and security and the other which moves towards exploration and…

“You boys were so much fun on the 8th grade trip! Thanks for not bombing anything while we were there!” read the yearbook inscription penned by the middle school teacher.

The eighth grade yearbook was littered with similar remarks by classmates linking Omar to a “bomb.”

“To my bomb man!” read one note. “Come wire my bomb,” read…

This column is modified from a piece I wrote that appeared in the San Antonio Express-News.

Last weekend, a 100-year old man finished a marathon in Toronto, Canada.

Thousands gathered to celebrate his record-breaking feat, and he’s quickly become a global icon.

Fauja Singh’s bright yellow turban and flowing white beard made it easy to pick him out in a crowd of 22,000 runners, and he smiled infectiously as he announced he would donate all his earnings…

As the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests continue to grow, I have been asking myself what role religion should play or has played in this entire situation, particularly how we, as a society, got to such income inequalities and to a culture that values such high…

News agencies were already slow to cover the movement in New York, so it is no surprise that reporting on the involvement of religious people at Occupy Together took even longer. But the wait was worth it, with fellow State of Formation…

Celebrating is an effective way to anchor your efforts in positive emotions. More approval brings increased motivation to continue taking action. Increased action creates even more reasons for giving yourself approval. It’s a beautiful arrangement

In every culture, nation, and religion there are special times set aside to celebrate life or some significant event. We generally refer to these special times as holidays. Have you ever wondered why people get so excited about holidays…

Within the new consciousness

of one world each one of us depends on the welfare of all. One day corporations

will be required by government to cultivate an environment harmonious with

nature. Air, water and soil as well as animals and plants deserve protection,

preservation, and care. Corporations of the past have placed profit over

people, self-interest over justice and oppression over equality, and for the

general public it often has felt like corporate voice and…

Not my friend and want to comment? Just send me a friend request.

Back in February, I wrote a rather disillusioned commentary on the passing of the inaugural World Interfaith Harmony Week.  I argued that interfaith issues were heady and difficult, and that we cannot expect people to engage in such dialogue over breakfast, as suggested by the UN, when participants have not yet had a chance for a first cup of coffee.

Well, I am embarrassed to say, that I would like to recant my statement.  I think that interfaith breakfasts – and lunches, and…

According to their own testimony, God has called Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum to run for President. God has even, reportedly, called Mike Huckabee to keep his cushy media job and not to run.  There is no shortage of coverage of these divine vocations. Much of the writing on the subject is barely pronounceable due to the tongue's affixation to the cheek.  One writer after another jokingly complains that God needs to figure it out, make a decision and get with…

Children are future generation – education is the route to guide the children in the right direction. Modern world children’s are getting two kinds of education. One in the school and the other day today life itself. Former one requires huge investment, time, effort and so on, in the case of latter one requires nothing even though later one more effective, modern generation showing their hundred present effort on this, which is the contribution of elder people of the world.
