It's Considerate to Be Literate about Religion

Join Steven Cunningham, children’s author and Director of Pancreatic and Hepatobiliary Surgery and Director of GME at Ascension St. Agnes, for a discussion of his new book on religious literacy It’s Considerate To Be Literate about Religion, published by Orange Hat Press. From the publisher: It’s Considerate To Be Literate about Religion is a book of poems and prose for young readers, their parents, and their teachers. Along with Cunningham’s award-winning books Dinosaur Name Poems and Your Body Sick and Well: How Do You Know?, this new book shares the motif of using the names of things (nomenclature) to introduce topics that otherwise may be unfamiliar, such as the difference between the religious and the secular, or between a devotional approach to practicing a religion and an academic approach to studying religion, or among all the various ways one can be religiously literate and religiously illiterate. We’re also joined by chaplain researcher Beth Muehlhausen, PhD.
