The Liturgists Podcast

How can we engage in effective advocacy that creates change? And how can we do so without losing hope? We talked to two experts in the world of social justice and advocacy to find out.   Christena Cleveland is a social psychologist, public theologian, author and professor. She is the first Associate Professor of the Practice of Reconciliation at Duke University’s Divinity School and the author of Disunity in Christ: Uncovering the Hidden Forces that Keep Us Apart. You can learn more about her at http://www.christenacleveland.com   Micky is a perpetual learner, “justice doula”, consultant, facilitator, mama/sister/friend, nonviolence practitioner and contemplative activist living just south of Nashville, TN. After 10 plus years as a mother-baby specialist, trainer and author, she decided to shift back to earlier interests: theology and community development. She is a member of the co-learning community of NAIITS (North American Institute of Indigenous Theological Studies) and graduated with a Masters of Arts in Intercultural Studies.

We’re starting something new in the off-weeks for the podcast: Two Minute Meditations. These will be brief, accessible introductions to meditative practice. For week one, we explore one of the foundations of a meditative practice, the non-judgemental posture.

What’s fake news, and how can we spot it? This episode is about media literacy, and offers insights on how to spot fake news, as well as media bias, and skewed data.   We talked with Clay Johnson, author of The Information Diet and the co-founder of Blue State Digital, the firm that built and managed Barack Obama’s online campaign for the presidency in 2008.   Here’s a few resources to dig deeper:   How to tell fake news from real news - TED Ed How to Spot Fake News - FactCheck.org

We’re talking about epistemology on this episode–the study of truth, belief, and justification. Sound boring? In the age of “fake news,” this may be the most important topic we can cover.

This episode is all about ableism–the conscious and unconcious ways that people tend to discrimnate against disabled people. Ginny Owens joined us to talk about her experiences as a blind muscian living and working in Nashville. You can learn more about Ginny and her music at ginnyowens.com. Heather Avis told us about her children with Down syndrome, and how people respond to them. Her book, The Lucky Few: Finding God’s Best in the Most Unlikely Places, comes out March 21, 2017. Michele in NYC shared her perspective as a queer, intersectional, disabled activist. She invites you to learn more about ableism (and how to rid the world of it) at whatisableism.tumblr.com.

As a follow-up to Lost & Found and The Other Side of the Mattress, we respond to our most common request: an episode on how to talk to your kids during and after faith transitions.
