China: Religions Role in Meeting Environmental Crises Pulitzer Centers New Gateway: Religion & Power pulitzercenter.org/religion-and-power Religious faith is central to the lives of billions, a driving force in everything from family structure to relationships within and among the world’s nation states. It is also the venue, and often the source, of conflict. This week, we launched a new Gateway, Religion and Power, that explores these themes throughout the world. We aim for reporting that tackles the tough, core issues—but without the easy stereotypes and caricature that too often make journalism a tool for demagogy. One area of particular interest is China, where a government that long suppressed religious expression is now invoking those traditions as part of the solution to environmental and other challenges. With our Campus Consortium partners at the University of Chicago, we showcased some of our current projects, including this report for Religion and Ethics Newsweekly, with a panel discussion on Tuesday, Oct. 28.
