What’s the relationship between people’s personal faith and their political activism? What extra dimension does religion bring to social movements and to contemporary cities? How might being a person of faith shape one’s attitude to environmentalism and to caring for life beyond the self? Moving way beyond the stereotypes of the peace-loving Quaker and the evangelical conservative Christian, Alice Bloch talks to Sydney-based sociologist Rosie Hancock about the fascinating intersection of religious belief and political action.
Hosts: Alice Bloch and Samira Shackle
Producer: Alice Bloch
