Rebranding Jesus, Marathons, Humor and the Heathen w/ Kathryn Gin Lum

Send us Fan MailThis week we talk about a recent campaign to rebrand Jesus and we talk about how marathons are becoming more inclusive by adding a non-binary division! All that and more on A Matter of Faith! Question of the Week:What are your thoughts about using humor in things like the pastor's sermon or other parts of worship? Special Guest:Kathryn Gin Lum, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Stanford UniversityGuest Question:How should we understand the declining membership of mainline Christian denominations using the perspective outlined in your book? These are often the older, more white denominations where young people choose to be “spiritual but not religious”. But we don’t see that as much in the immigrant congregations and people of color where communities are often thriving.Resources:Heathen: Religion and Race in American HistoryFor Listening Guides, click here!Got a question for us?
