The Post-Election Story of Religious Voters |
November 13, 2020 |
|
This week our 2020 post-election analysis begins with Robert P. Jones from the Public Religion Research Institute. Jones details insights from the annual survey of American values across religious groups and highlights from the exit polling from the 2020 elections. Tackling the ‘demographics are destiny’ thesis, Jones explains how young voters are defying conventional wisdom. And, how race continues to influence the behavior and once again, trumps theology.
Robert P. Jones Ph.D. CEO and Founderof the Public Religion Research Institute and a leading scholar and commentator on religion, culture, and politics. He is the author of White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity and The End of White Christian America, which won the 2019 Grawemeyer Award in Religion.

Making a Place at the Table |
November 13, 2020 |
|
A new middle-grade book, explores food, family, and interfaith friendship. Unlike most books for this age group, the families are intact and kids are not tasked with saving the world. Instead, they wrestle with finding their way as first-generation immigrants and confront the stressors their parents face – from depression and anxiety to financial stress. Set in a small American suburb, co-authors Laura Shovan, and Saadia Faruqi introduce readers to experiences drawn from their lives. Readers meet how a young Jewish and Muslim girl find friendship in an unlikely place, an afterschool cooking club.
Saadia Faruqi, Pakistani American author, essayist, interfaith activist, and author of Meet Yasmin! and A Place At The Table.
Laura Shovan. Author of the award-winning Middle-grade novel The Last Fifth Grade of Emerson Elementary, and poet-in-the-schools for the Maryland State Arts Council.
