Relocating God with Diana Butler Bass

The headlines are clear: religion is on the decline in America as many people leave behind traditional religious practices. Diana Butler Bass, leading commentator on religion, politics, and culture, follows up her acclaimed book Christianity After Religion by arguing that what appears to be a decline signals a major transformation in how people understand and experience God. The distant God of conventional religion has given way to a more intimate sense of the sacred that is with us in the world. This shift, from a vertical understanding of God to a God found on the horizons of nature and human community, is at the heart of a spiritual revolution that surrounds us – and that is challenging not only religious institutions but political and social ones as well.

In her book Grounded: Finding God in the World, A Spiritual Revolution, Diana Butler Bass explains how and why faith is no longer a matter of mountain top experience or institutional practice; instead, people are finding new spiritual ground by discovering and embracing God everywhere in the world around us—in the soil, the water, the sky; in our homes and neighborhoods; and in the global commons.

About the Guest: Diana Butler Bass

DIANA BUTLER BASS is the author of nine books on American religion, including Christianity After Religion, Christianity for the Rest of Us, and A People’s History of Christianity. She holds a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Duke University, has taught at the college and graduate level, and is currently an independent scholar. She was a columnist for the New York Times Syndicate, and blogs for the Huffington Post and the Washington Post on issues of religion, spirituality, and culture. Bass is a popular speaker at conferences, colleges and universities, and churches across North America. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia, with her husband, daughter, and dog.

Tracey Rollin - Santa Muerte

When we think of death, we think of the ultimate fate awaiting us all. Death does not discriminate and all are equal in the eyes of death. Many regard the grim reaper as the symbol of death, robed, hooded and carrying the harvest scythe. But for millions around the world, there is a feminine personification of death and she is called “Santa Muerte.” She is associated with safe passage to the afterlife and is the patron saint of people who live on the fringes of society who often face violence and death. Her followers have also come to include the LGBT community and people who have been marginalized or whose jobs put them at a risk of death including the military and police.

My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Tracey Rollin, is the administrator of the Lovely Mother Death Facebook Group, a 69,000 member community of Santa Muerte devotees. A practitioner of chaos magic and witchcraft for more than 20 years, Tracey has dedicated herself to the advancement of consciousness, spiritual understanding and personal power. Tracey is also a registered nurse with years of emergency room and trauma experience. She joins us this week to discuss her just published Red Wheel/Weiser book, Santa Muerte: The History, Rituals and Magic of Our Lady of the Holy Death.

The Secret Life of Introverts

Is there a hidden part of you that no one else sees? Do you have a vivid inner world of thoughts and emotions that your peers and loved ones can’t seem to access? Have you ever been told you’re too “quiet,” “shy,” “boring,” or “awkward”? Are your habits and comfort zones questioned by a society that doesn’t seem to get the real you? If so, you might be an introvert.
