Episode 43.
Zachary Davis, a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or Mormons), has been deeply involved in producing podcasts and other media about religion. In this Bonus episode, we discuss the role of religion in the public sphere. He talks about the importance of bringing your whole self into the community, and makes the distinction between scholarly work and devotional practice. Part of his own public expression of his faith is through the various podcasts and publications he produces and manages, including the Ministry of Ideas podcast and Faith Matters magazine.
Highlights:
· Zach’s first HarvardX work with professors at Harvard Divinity School led to years of ‘swimming in religion’ and thinking more deeply about the role of faith.
· The Ministry of Ideas podcast and Faith Matters magazine are both vehicles for discussing religion in the public sphere.
· The separation of church and state really means not establishing a state religion.
· Scholarship on religion and religious devotional practice are two different things, and not at odds.
· The US is a unique country, given the diversity of religions. Living together peaceably and respectfully is important.
· Attending services and reading the holy scriptures of other religions are ways we can each learn about other paths.
