Choose one image that you think shows us an important intersection of religion and a social problem. This image can be a photo, an artwork, a cartoon, a meme — whatever you want. Upload it in your post.
explain (2-3 sentences) why you chose that image.
choose a quotation from the podcast with angel Kyodo williams (no more than 2 sentences). (You can use the transcript to find the exact words.) Copy and paste the quotation you picked here, in quotation marks. Like this: “There is something dying in our society, in our culture, and there’s something dying in us individually. And what is dying, I think, is the willingness to be in denial.”
reflect on the quotation from angel Kyodo williams, and consider: how might it be applied to the social problem shown in the image you chose? Do you think that what she was saying might be applied in a helpful or healing way to that social problem? Does trying to apply her teaching to that social problem reveal some criticisms that you could make of her message? Explore this connection! (2-3 sentences)
