Civic Religion
from With All Due Respect · host The WADR Project
This week, Megan and Michael discuss the place of "civic religion" in Australian society.Defined as the implicit "religious" values of a nation - expressed through public ceremony, symbols, and rituals - our hosts ask if Australia even has a civic religion in the first place.They then turn their eyes to the place of the Welcome to / Acknowledgement of Country in Australia: specifically in the church. What does it mean that some churches have pushed back against this now largely normal part of public procedure?Finally, they take stock of a recent episode of Bluey and discuss why a children's show (of all things) brought Michael to tears.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
