I’m excited to share that the video I cowrote with Andrew Mark Henry of the Youtube channel Religion for Breakfast is now live!

“Why are congregations so divided?” looks at the social dynamics behind divisions along race, class, and more in local religious communities. Andrew flew out to interview me and tour around congregations in my current hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. The video’s themes resonate with those I researched and discussed in detail in my book, Parish and Place: Making Room for Diversity in the American Catholic Church.

Thanks also to Sacred Writes and the Henry Luce Foundation for sponsoring this collaboration and promoting public scholarship on religion.
