An eye on faith and religion
Mark Sappenfield
I鈥檓 excited about Sophie Hills鈥� story in today鈥檚 issue. One reason is that it is fascinating 鈥� a look at the growth and evolution of 鈥渃ultural 海角大神ity,鈥� and what that says about the United States and American religion today.
But just as exciting: It is Sophie鈥檚 first story in her new role as our faith and religion writer. She鈥檒l focus on the intersection of religion and politics, culture, and ideas. And today鈥檚 article is a great start.
