Join KtB & CrossCurrents in Boston Sun., 6:30pm!
Friends, we had such a good time celebrating KtB’s 25th birthday last month at Judson Church in NYC, with our friends and collaborators at The Association for Religion and Public Life (APRIL) that we’re gathering again–this tim at the American Academy of Religion (AAR) conference happening this weekend in Boston. If you’re there, please come by, say hello, meet the editors, and learn more about how you can contribute.
Sunday, 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM | Sheraton, Back Bay D (Second Floor) Session ID: P23-401
Roundtable Session
Hosted by: Association for Public Religion and Intellectual Life
Theme: Good Writing for the Public Good: CrossCurrents at 75 and Killing the Buddha at 25
S.B. Rodriguez-Plate, APRIL, presiding
2025 marks two anniversaries: 75 years of publishing at the journal CrossCurrents and 25 years at KtB (Killing the Buddha). While these two publishing venues are separate, they are linked in the ways they have attempted to bring critical, creative, and compassionate writing about religion to a general public. Both have worked to advance critical takes on religious life, with interests in social justice, just as they have highlighted the importance of creative writing and querying the divide between insiders and outsiders.
This event will bring together former writers from the two publications who will offer their own insights on the ways creative and critical perspectives can be fused for the public good.
