Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
2025 marks two anniversaries: 75 years of publishing at the journal CrossCurrents and 25 years at KtB (Killing the Buddha). While these two publishing venues are separate, they are linked in the ways they have attempted to bring critical, creative, and compassionate writing about religion to a general public. Both have worked to advance critical takes on religious life, with interests in social justice, just as they have highlighted the importance of creative writing and querying the divide between insiders and outsiders.
This event will bring together former writers from the two publications who will offer their own insights on the ways creative and critical perspectives can be fused for the public good.
