Producing Public Religious Education in Our Current Time, sponsored by the NABPR

This event convenes scholars, practitioners, and media producers working at the intersection of religion, public life, and digital humanities to explore how religious knowledge is created, translated, and shared in contemporary public contexts.

The program will open with a featured presentation on the Healing Our Sacred Lake podcast, created by Adam DJ Brett, Betty Hill Lyons, and Rebekka King. 

Following the presentation, a panel of active podcasters will discuss the practical, ethical, and theoretical dimensions of producing public-facing religious content today.

Podcast panelists include:

1. “Healing Our Sacred Lake” (Haudenosaunee restoration of Onandaga Lake, NY): Betty Hill Lyons, Rebekka King, Adam DJ Brett
2. “Bible Divas” (biblical scholarship, honest public conversation): Angela N. Parker, Anna Sieges Beal, Cynthia Shafer-Elliott
3. “Voice of the Turtle” (welcoming and affirming movement in Baptist life): Brian Henderson, Cliff Vaughn 
4. “Spirt & Power” (politics and Pentecostal Christians): Leah Payne

The session is sponsored by the National Association of Baptist Professors of Religion, NABPR.
