  • Distant But Not Disconnected
    This week is Interfaith-ish's second anniversary!!! 🥳.... BUT in the wake of coronavirus, Takoma Radio introduced new restrictions on our beloved studio. That means no live guests for the foreseeable future! 😢
    Luckily, I was able to make a last minute change and got Amanda Quraishi of the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture on a Zoom call.
    We discussed creating online community spaces, how to facilitate productive conflict, and why prayer and meditation can be a protection against the never ending news cycle. We also shared about challenges to being a religious convert and what it means to choose daily to be part of a tradition.

  • Rolling Up Our Sleeves
    Baptist and Bahá’í neighbors share stories of spiritual rebellion and why martial arts is about community defense.
    As young men, Welton Bonner, pastor of Greater Love Church, and ‘Abdu’l-Karim Ewing-Boyd, a member of the DC Bahá’í community, both strayed from their families' religious upbringing - but had profound life experiences that reaffirmed their faith convictions.
    Today, each of them are strongly committed to building spaces for youth to explore creative expression and education. 
    Through our conversation, we examine efforts to reduce gun violence in DC, the role of a pastor in the community, and the Bahá'í concept of "progressive revelation."

  • Weaving Tales and Communities
    What does religion look like at the Smithsonian? How do we hold on to authenticity and reverence in a museum context?
    Jack speaks with Dr. Olivia Cadaval, the recently retired curator and chair of Cultural Research and Education at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage; and Rev. Teddy R. Reeves, the specialist of religion at the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture.
    We discuss tensions and triumphs presenting Latino religious rituals at the annual folk festival, NMAAHC's outstanding gOD-Talk series, and building a legacy for a new generation of researchers and curators.

    Anuttama Dasa, Communications Director at ISKCON, and Symi Rom-Rymer, Outreach Director at the IFCMW, discuss responses to religious intolerance at home and abroad, how the Vaishnava movement (popularly known as Hare Krishna) fits in the Hindu tradition, and why interfaith engagement is key to deepening one's own religious identity.

  • The Slap Back Holy Ghost & Other Interfaith Wrestling Moves
    Jack and his guests have way too much fun discussing new year’s resolutions, swapping convert stories, and picking names for interfaith-themed wrestling moves.

  • Praying with Our Feet
    We encounter Monks, Mormons, an epic sword fight and much more at this year's Unity Walk!
    With peace on earth and good will towards men as the holiday themes this week, we get a glimpse of a world where neighbors serve together and seek to understand each other's traditions.
    This week's show features interviews recorded back in September at the Unity Walk, one of the premiere interfaith events in the DC area presented by the Interfaith Council of Metropolitan Washington.
    I spoke with veteran participants and first timers from a nearly dozen different traditions. Plus I stumbled upon a sword fight outside the Sikh gurdwara! That was definitely a first...

  • Some Light Dinner Conversation
    A Baptist military chaplain and a Hindu turned atheist discuss religious freedom...
    As folks prepare for the time-honored Thanksgiving tradition of awkward dinner conversations, we figured we'd model fruitful dialogue about two taboo topics: religion and politics.
    Our guests Norris Burkes, a retired Baptist military chaplain, and Amit Pal, communications director for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, may not agree on life's big questions but found common ground when our conversation turned to religious liberty.
