Chronicling a Changing America: RNS at 90

Celebrating 90 Years of the Religion News Service (RNS): This engaging panel discussion features a diverse group of experts exploring the rich history and evolving role of religion in American society. This program features: • Wajahat Ali, Daily Beast columnist, public speaker, author of Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on Becoming American (moderator) • Adelle M. Banks, Projects Editor and National Reporter, RNS, and co-author of Becoming a Future-Ready Church: 8 Shifts to Encourage and Empower the Next Generation of Leaders • Elesha Coffman, Professor of History, Baylor University • Sister Norma Pimentel, Executive Director, Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley • Mark Silk, Professor of Religion in Public Life, Trinity College; Director, Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life; Contributing Editor, RNS The conversation delves into the fascinating origin stories of key figures who have shaped the legacy of RNS, including Jewish immigrant Louis Minsky and pioneering journalist Lillian Block. Attendees gain insights into how these trailblazers navigated the challenges of religious diversity and xenophobia in the 1930s, laying the groundwork for RNS's mission of promoting interfaith understanding. The panel also explores the deliberate use of religious language and identity by the religious right in American politics, particularly during the 1980s. Speakers analyze how terms like "Judeo-Christian" and "family values" were co-opted to advance conservative agendas, often at the expense of true religious pluralism. Additionally, the discussion sheds light on the rise of "nones" - individuals who identify as spiritual but not religious - and the evolving role of faith in contemporary society. Panelists address the complexities of covering diverse faith traditions in the media and the importance of representing the full spectrum of religious and non-religious experiences. These remarks came as part of the RNS 90th Anniversary Symposium & Gala held on September 10, 2024 in New York City.
