Making Ordinary Places Religious(ish) in Northern California
Why One Millennial Chooses to Stay
Contemplative Photography in Royal Kapuāiwa Coconut Grove, Molokai, Hawai'i
In the holiest season of the Christian year, Bearings contributors Emmy Kegler and Elizabeth Drescher explore what it is that makes people stay connected to traditional religious communities and what allows religion and spirituality to unfold beyond institutional religions. In both cases, it’s clear that religion today is often “beyond belief,” animated by relationships, the challenges and beauties of everyday life, and the sacred places people make and inhabit. We add to this reflection an essay from our archives by Kelly Baker that explores her move from religious to nonreligious, sort of. “Creative Insights” contributor Jenny Patten LaMonica is also engaged by the spirituality of place in a moving photographic contemplation of the life, death, and rebirth of a venerated coconut grove in Molokai, Hawai’i. And, for his part, commentator Tripp Hudgins takes up the current jostling of political candidates and the relationship to faith—or not so much.
