This collection on Religion and Violence In These Times is excellent - I recommend it highly, for your own reflection and teaching. Vital, in these times!

I'm on parental leave and have made a deliberate effort to stay offline and stay away news of our violent time. But I want to share more of the @ImmanentFrame forum @MonaOrabee and I curated on precisely what I am now so privileged to (somewhat) avoid: tif.ssrc.org/category/ruinat…

Grateful for this opportunity to critically reflect on several years of academic/policy work on #ForB, #religiousfreedom. The contradictions may have become clearer for me, but less so the answers...which makes contributing to a forum like this all the more valuable.
