State of Belief<\/a><\/i>, Interfaith Alliance\u2019s weekly radio show and podcast, comes to you this week from the Georgia Public Broadcasting studios in Macon, GA. \u00a0Tune in to hear about the decision to write and produce a big-budget religious blockbuster like \u201cNoah,\u201d finding Dr. King\u2019s legacy in Georgia\u2019s Moral Monday movement, and a Millennial Evangelical response to World Vision\u2019s flip-flop on marriage equality.<\/span><\/div>\n
What\u2019s a Revangelical?<\/b>
Last month, World Vision, a global Christian relief organization, announced that it would begin hiring people in same-sex marriages in a move to sidestep the ongoing culture wars and focus on its vital mission. Days later, after a furious conservative Evangelical uproar leading to the loss of an estimated 10,000 donors, the organization reversed its decision. Was this an example of money trumping Christian values of compassion and inclusiveness? Welton speaks with\u00a0Brandan Robertson<\/b>, a young Evangelical writer, activist, and speaker, about his reaction to the attack on World Vision, and\u00a0his<\/i>\u00a0vision of a \u201cRevangelical\u201d movement that promises more Jesus, less culture war.<\/span><\/div>\n
Moral Mondays Come Down to Georgia<\/b>
This week Welton discusses the powerful Moral Monday movement with the Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia,\u00a0Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock<\/b>. Having inherited a congregation once led by Martin Luther King, Jr., Ebenezer Baptist\u2019s longtime connection with the struggle for civil rights is self-evident \u2013 Like Dr. King before him, Rev. Warnock himself was arrested during a recent Moral Mondays protest. He joins Welton to reflect on issues addressed by the movement in Georgia, and discuss the empowering nature of activism, as well as his new book,\u00a0The Divided Mind of the Black Church: Theology, Piety and Public Witness.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Writing \u201cNoah\u201d: A Discussion with Ari Handel<\/b>
In a year that features an unusual number of religiously-themed films \u2013 from \u201cSon of God\u201d to Ridley Scott\u2019s upcoming \u201cExodus,\u201d\u00a0State of Belief<\/i>\u00a0welcomes\u00a0Ari Handel<\/b>, the co-writer and co-executive producer of this week\u2019s highest-grossing movie in America, \u201cNoah.\u201d Welton chats with Ari about his decision to bring the Noah story back to the big screen, the challenges of making a religiously-themed film in 2014, and the backlash from critics who have focused on the ways in which the film deviates from scripture.<\/span><\/div>\n
